Investments in UK banks but now abroad.

Options
I took out ISAs, fixed rate bonds and high interest savings accounts with UK banks last year.

However, i have been resident in the republic of Ireland for the last 6 months.  The investments are set to mature this year.

Will my non-residence in the UK affect these investments?

I have not informed the banks of my residence outside the UK.  Should I?

    Do you still have a link to the UK address they hold for you?

    You should read the Ts & Cs of each account, where their expectations will be spelt out.

    Yes.   
    a) ISAs are not tax free any more.
    b) you are under the Republics taxation rules.  Not UK.

    I have not informed the banks of my residence outside the UK.  Should I?
    Yes.   Failure to notify could lead them to reporting you for potential fraud.  Even if that is not your intention.
