Unique benefits with Smart Investor

Compliant investing for you

Interest rates are struggling to keep up with record inflation, leaving many people worried about how they can maintain the spending power of their money. Investments have the potential to produce higher returns over the longer term, which can help maintain that spending power.

Investments can fall as well as rise so you might not get back what you invest. If you’re unsure which investments are right for you, please seek independent advice. Tax rules can change, and any benefits depend on your circumstances.

Open your account

We’ve got three types of account.

Choose the one you want to start with – you can always open another one later on.

Investment ISA

This is the most popular account people choose when they start to invest.

You can pay in up to £20,000 per tax year

Any returns you make are tax free

Tax rules can change and their effects vary depending on your individual circumstances.

Investment Account

A flexible account if you’ve already used your ISA allowance for the current tax year OR you’re already paying into an ISA with another provider.

No limits on the amount you can invest

The return you make on your investments will be taxable

SIPP Account

Designed to help you prepare for retirement.

If you’re comfortable putting money away until you’re at least 55 (rising to 57 in 2028) and making your own investment decisions

You may be eligible for tax relief on the money you pay in.

You may have to pay tax when you come to withdraw money from your pension and tax rules can change in future. The way this affects you will depend on your individual circumstances.

If you are employed by an organisation with which Barclays has a corporate client relationship, then our services don’t form part of your remuneration package from your employer. The availability of our services via our bankers visiting your employer’s workplace isn’t funded by your employer and whether you take up our services is at your sole discretion and shouldn’t be considered to be a taxable employee benefit.
