Temporary reduction of Lifetime ISA withdrawal charges from 25% to 20%...
Due to the financial pressure everybody is under as a result of the Covid-19 situation, the Government has temporarily agreed to reduce the withdrawal charge on Lifetime ISA from 25% to 20% for any charges incurred between 6 March 2020 and 5 April 2021.This charge is only payable when money is withdrawn for a reason other than purchasing your first home before the age of 60.
We are working to adjust our systems to reflect this change as a priority, but this may take a little time. We can assure you that any OneFamily Lifetime ISA customers charged at the 25% rate since 6 March 2020 will be refunded the additional 5% back into their accounts as soon as possible.Read more

25% government bonus

How much can I invest?
Invest up to a maximum of £4,000 in the current tax year and the government will add an extra 25%. So for every £10 you save, you’ll get £2.50 extra – up to £1,000 per tax year. Tax rules may change in the future
Who is it available to?
You can open a Lifetime ISA if you’re aged between 18 and 39, but you can continue to pay in until your 50th birthday
What can I use it for?
A Lifetime ISA is designed to help you purchase your first home or to save for later life (60+). Penalties apply for any withdrawals before age 60 that are not for the purchase of your first home
How can I open my account?
Start investing from as little as £25 per month or a £250 lump sum
What kind of account is it?
Our Lifetime ISA invests in stocks & shares so it has good potential to grow over the long term. In fact, in every 18 year period over the last 50 years, stocks and shares have grown more than cash accounts (where money is protected)*. However, investments can go down as well as up so you could get back less than has been put in
