Our Expert Opinion on Suffolk Building Society Additional Permitted Subscription ISA

Jonny PeaseCo-Founder, DepositScout

The Additional Permitted Subscription ISA from Suffolk Building Society is a niche product designed specifically for the surviving spouse or civil partner of a deceased ISA holder, allowing them to deposit inherited ISA savings outside the usual annual ISA allowance. At 1.60%, the rate is 3.52% below the cash ISA market leader at 5.12%, sits below the market average, and is 1.50% below CPI inflation of 3.1%, meaning money here loses real value. If you need to use this account type, I would still check whether a provider like Moneybox at 3.80% offers the same APS facility before settling here.
