    Not sure on that one, withdrawing interest would count as a withdrawal but they may let you credit it to another account.
    Consider this one if it's a problem.

    you can ask for the interest to be paid to another account automatically therefore it wouldnt count as a withdrawal, theyre are problems with having interest paid to external accounts on some abbey accounts, so you could open another instant access access eg Flexible saver/bank account, have the interest paid into that and withdrawl/transfer or setup a standing order to go out to an external account.
