Interest on Fixed ISA on withdraw

Hi,

If I withdraw my 5 year fixed ISA after 9 months, do I still get interest for 9 months? Eg

I invested £12000 in 5 year Fixed ISA at 1% but want to withdraw after 9 months. Do I still get £90 as interest? I do understand that most providers will charge 365 days of interest penalty which means I would be charged £30 (120 - 90) and would receive £11970 as withdrawal amount. Am I right?

Thanks

    All (adult) ISAs must allow withdrawals at any time, but can impose the sort of penalty charges that OP refers to....
