    Common Questions

    ISA Questions, Answered

    DepositScout is a comparison service, not a bank or financial adviser. Everything on this page is for general guidance only and does not constitute personal financial advice.

    Most Cash ISAs are deposit accounts — your capital is not at risk and it is protected up to the FSCS deposit limit per eligible person, per banking licence. A few, such as eToro's, hold your money in a fund and are covered by the £85,000 investment limit instead. Stocks and Shares ISAs involve investment — capital is at risk and you may get back less than you put in. The FSCS does not protect against investment losses.

    ISA rules and allowances are set by the UK government and may change. Always check the latest rules before opening an account.
