Our only charge is the annual account service fee, which is based on the total deposit, which is due monthly in arrears. There are no other fees for the Insignis Cash service.
Once a client deposits funds into their Hub account, we set aside the annual account service fee and draw down monthly payments in arrears from this fee reserve account. We charge a minimum of one quarter of the fees, after which fees are charged pro rata. While the funds are in the fee reserve, they remain in the client’s name. There are no other fees for the Insignis Cash service.
We don’t charge the banks or building societies that offer products on the Insignis Cash platform, meaning the client receives the full interest rate that the bank is offering. The only fee for the Insignis Cash service is out annual account service fee, which is based on your total deposit.
Once the application is accepted account is opened, the client and, if applicable, the adviser receives a welcome email informing them that the account is now open and operational with all the information needed to deposit the funds.

There is no limit to the amount of cash that Insignis Cash can manage for you. Many clients see the interest returns on their initial deposit and then choose to increase their funds in the service.

Funds can take up to one business day to appear in the Insignis Cash Hub account, provided they come from the client’s linked account with the correct reference. Clients receive an email notification once the funds are available to be placed.
For security reasons, funds can only be withdrawn back to the linked account; they cannot be sent to other accounts or third parties. In exceptional circumstances, we may allow funds to be sent to authorised third parties, such as in cases of bereavement or customers in certain vulnerable circumstances, with the relevant legal documentation.
The linked account is the account to which funds are sent back when clients request a withdrawal and for security reasons, clients can only have one linked account at the moment.
On the Insignis Cash platform, clients can generate three reports at any time:
The client always stays the beneficial owner of the funds throughout the process. The funds never touch Insignis Cash.
Clients’ funds are securely held by the relevant financial institutions, not by Insignis Cash. Funds would be retained by the banks and building societies until maturity (if applicable), when the funds will be returned to the linked account.
We offer a wide range of account terms, including Easy Access, Notice Accounts, and Fixed Term Deposits up to 5 years.
Clients are eligible for any new banks and building societies joining our panel without the need for further documentation, dependent on client type.
Funds are available by close of the next business day, to move from the Insignis Cash Hub account to any spoke account.
Once funds have been placed into a spoke account, the account will automatically move from “Pending” to “My deposit” view on the platform.
Interest is accrued according to the terms of the chosen spoke account, which can be monthly, quarterly, annually, or on the anniversary.
Clients cannot set up a standing order to have interest paid out to their linked account each month as the interest accrued varies depending on the spoke accounts selected.
Clients can log into the Insignis Cash Platform and view all available rates across banks and building societies at any point.
When clients request a withdrawal, funds will be returned to their linked account by close of the next business day.
Clients can choose to have sole or dual authorisation on their Insignis Cash account.
Where Dual Authorisation is selected, please confirm whether the Account Operator will be a Requester or Approver. There must always be one Requestor and one Approver on the account. An individual cannot be both a Requestor and Approver.
