You need to be aged between 18-39 and be a UK resident, and you should consider this as a longer-term investment. Tax allowances and the benefits of tax-efficient accounts are subject to change and tax treatment depends upon your individual circumstances.
Any withdrawals made from your Lifetime ISA that are not for an eligible house purchase or retirement when you are 60 years old will incur a Government withdrawal charge of 25% which means you could get back less than what you put in

The Key Features gives full details about how the BMO Lifetime ISA works and you should read this before investing. However, here are the answers to some questions you may have if you are considering opening a BMO Lifetime ISA.
You can have more than one ISA account allowing you flexibility. For example, you could invest your full £20,000 allowance in a Stocks and Shares ISA or you could split the allowance between a Stocks and Shares ISA and a Cash ISA. Please note even if you have more than one account your allowance is still £20,000 per tax-year (allowance correct for 2021/22 tax-year).
Payments are normally made from the ISA account holder. We can accept payments from third parties however we will require a letter, signed by them and sent along with the payment, that confirms that the money is being irrevocably gifted to the ISA account holder. We may also be required to verify the identity of the payer (for example, a certified copy of their current passport or driving licence for identity and a copy of a bank statement or utility bill as proof of address). If someone else is planning to make a payment into your ISA you may want to contact our Investor Services team (0345 600 3030) in advance of the payment being sent to check if anything further will be required.
