  • I have around £20k to put into savings. I need to have access to it just in case of life events etc so don't want to go for fixed bonds. I know people say ISAs are irrelevant now because of the higher threshold for getting taxed on interest. But there doesn't seem to be that much difference between Easy Access savings and Cash ISAs and at least you can always access ISAs. Also, perhaps in a few years if I max out the ISA allowance it will pay off having tax free interest? Would it make sense to go with an ISA, or would I still be better off with some other product?

  • You could scrape the top £1000 tax free threshold with £20k in an instant access product if you were savvy with what you did with it :)

    That said, does the allowance only apply to Cash savings? if it does then yeah you'd need a lot of cash before you'd start bumping the limit.
