Unlimited investing with a General Investment Account

For when you’ve used your ISA allowance.

The value of investments can fall as well as rise, and you may not get back the full amount you invest. Eligibility criteria, fees and charges apply.

What is a General Investment Account?

A General Investment Account is a useful option for when you’ve used your £20,000 tax-efficient ISA allowance. UK Income and Capital Gains Tax may apply.

You can invest an unlimited amount in a General Investment Account.

You have flexible access to your money, meaning you can withdraw money whenever you like but investing is designed for the long-term.

You can easily manage your investment account alongside other Royal Bank of Scotland accounts.
