Alexandra's Lifetime ISA story

We spoke to freelance theatre director and The Nottingham member, Alexandra Moxon, about her reasons for opening a LISA with The Nottingham.

Q: How did you hear about LISA?
A: I heard about it in my local branch after a passing conversation with the branch manager, Jo.

Q: Why did you decide to open a LISA?
A: The option to place money into an account where you receive 25% bonus* allows me to save towards my retirement with external input. I was very unsure about how to start saving for my retirement in an era with interest rates so low. LISA enables me to save for my future with confidence.

Q: Were you already a saver with us?
A: Yes, I have been a saver with The Nottingham since I was a child and had a Robin Hood Young Savers Account.

Q: Were you happy with the service at The Nottingham?
A: It was brilliant! Jo was really helpful - she answered all of my questions and kept me informed with all of the LISA developments whilst it was still in the process of being launched.

Q: Finally, we hear being a member of The Nottingham is something of a family tradition?
A: Yes. In 1985 my dad banked with a different bank, where he couldn’t get the mortgage he wanted, so he went to The Nottingham, who offered him the mortgage and were extremely helpful. As a result, he closed his savings account with the other bank and became a member of The Nottingham, who he has been with ever since.
