Cash ISA: Instant Access and Fixed Rate ISAs

ISAs

We have two kinds of cash ISA. Fixed Rate Cash ISAs give you a fixed interest rate for a set time, but you have restricted access to them. Cash ISAs have a variable rate of interest, but are instant access (and stay open for as long as you like).

You can earn tax-free interest on this savings account.
Take advantage of your ISA allowance.
