We've increased the Existing Members Account and Welcome to Newbury annual subscription limits

We have increased the limits on our Existing Member account (EMA) and Welcome to Newbury account.

What’s changed?

  • We have increased the EMA limit for the 2025-26 tax year only from £6,000 to £8,000.
  • In addition, we have increased the maximum deposit for our Welcome to Newbury account from £5,000 to £7,000.

Both changes came into effect on Tuesday 22 April.

What does that mean for you?

  • If you have an EMA account, you can now deposit a maximum of £8,000 until 5 April 2026.

  • If you have a Welcome to Newbury account, you can now pay in the difference between your current balance up to the maximum of £7,000.
