Halifax websaver is pretty good interest rate.I have some money in one.
I assume you have used up your cash ISA limit of 3,000.

You can also get a slightly higher rate of interest if you set up a minthly direct debit saving plan at your local bank.

The only downside is that wherever you go interest rates are pretty low anyway.

not got an ISA....

please bear with the ignorance but this is.......???

these boys are pretty good at the moment

You can put 7k a year in an ISA

3k in a mini cash isa

7 in a unit trust

mini isa has easy access

do one in your name, the missus,your nans,the dogs and your cat,

oh but you have to be a tax payer so may be not the cat
