If someone currently has an existing Yorkshire Building Society account, it may be possible to transfer to this product. But this is subject to meeting the eligibility criteria.
People can check their website to see whether this is possible.
The Internet Saver Plus Issue 11 account allows unlimited instant withdrawals, subject to daily withdrawal limits, without loss of interest.
If someone makes a withdrawal that reduces their balance to a lower interest rate tier, they bank will not notify them of this.

Proof of name ID will be required. For security reasons, online withdrawals are not available for the first 14 days after someone’s account has been opened.
After 14 days withdrawals can be made from someone’s account at anytime on condition that there are sufficient cleared funds in their account and that they maintain the minimum balance of £1.
