Declaration and Agreement
I apply to subscribe to a first direct Cash ISA for the tax year commencing 6 April 2024 and each subsequent tax year
until further notice. (This election simply makes it easy for you to subscribe to each subsequent tax year’s ISA - it’s not a
commitment on your part to subscribe each year.)
I declare that:
I am 18 years of age or over
All subscriptions made, and to be made, belong to me
I am resident in the United Kingdom for tax purposes or, if not so resident, either perform duties which, by virtue of
Section 28 of the Income Tax, (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (Crown employees serving overseas), are treated as
being performed in the United Kingdom or I am married to or in a civil partnership with a person who performs such
duties. I will inform first direct if I cease to be so resident or to perform such duties or be married to, or in civil
partnership with, a person who performs such duties
I have not subscribed, and will not subscribe, more than the overall ISA subscription limit total in the same tax year.
I’ve received a copy of the first direct Cash ISA Key Facts and I agree to the first direct Cash ISA Terms
and Conditions
Any information provided in respect of this application has been completed to the best of my knowledge and belief and
I will notify first direct without delay of any changes in my circumstances affecting any of the information given in this
application. Where information I have provided relates to other people, I declare I am authorised by them to disclose
that information and to accept the terms on their behalf. Bank records will be updated from the information provided,
where appropriate.
I authorise first direct:
To hold my cash subscription and any interest earned by those subscriptions
To make on my behalf, any claims to relief from tax in respect of ISA investments.
I have received a copy of the UK Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) Information Sheet and
Exclusions List.

Credit Reference Agencies (CRAs) Information
In order to process your application, we need to carry out checks to verify your identity, address and other personal

others, it is important that you tell them about this and that they know that a search may be carried out on them.

The personal information we have collected from you will be shared with fraud prevention agencies who will use it to
prevent fraud and money laundering and to verify your identity. If fraud is detected, you could be refused certain

may use your information for these purposes and your data privacy rights, is set out in a leaflet entitled Credit Scoring,
