What is an Innovative Finance ISA?
An Innovative Finance ISA (IF-ISA) is the most recent addition to the ISA family, introduced by the UK Government in 2016, giving you the opportunity to use your £20,000 annual ISA allowance† to invest in peer-to-peer opportunities with the added benefit of tax-free interest.* IF-ISAs can offer much higher interest rates than many traditional Cash ISAs and their introduction builds upon the popularity of the peer-to-peer sector, through which more than £10 billion has already been invested in the UK.
How are IF-ISAs different to traditional ISAs?
Many traditional ISAs typically offer below 1% interest pa, whereas IF-ISAs can offer much larger returns. For example, Kuflink’s customers earn up to 5.35% interest pa* – that’s more than 5 times the average! Funds you invest in an IF-ISA count towards your £20,000 per annum tax-free savings allowance. †
