Best ISA interest rates, instant access, fixed rate ISAs 1 year, 2 years, 3 years +

2011-03-03T14:58:00.003Z

Due to ISA Report currently not being updated, this will hopefully be rectified later this year, I thought I would link directly to the ISA Forum where you can find the best interest rates for instant acces, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 year ISAs check it out here: Best Interest Rates for ISA.

hope to have ISA report updates running again as soon as I am settled in a new house.

The best 1 year is still slightly higher than the best Instant Access ISA, even if it's only a 0.05% different at 3.25% compared with Santander's 3.2% instant access. You must remember the Instant Access one is a bonus account for 12 months and pays 2.70% above the Bank of England base rate for 12 months, so it could go up, hopefully!

Which are the best instant access ISAs? 9th of April 2010

2010-04-09T10:07:00.002+01:00

Santander are still offering the best instant access ISA, it's dropped from 3.5% to 3.2% but still takes out the number 1 spot. The best account for transfers in is the new Nationwide Champion ISA at 2.8% however it comes with some terms such as "You can make one penalty free withdrawal in each tax year at any Nationwide branch. For further withdrawals, in the same tax year, you must give us 60 days notice or if you can't wait lose 60 days interest".

What I personally would advise is if you haven't had the good fortune to get the 3.5% Santander account, then go for the 3.2% for this years allowance. If you have money sitting in one of the many 0.5% or lower ISAs to transfer into 2 seperate accounts; transfer what you aren't planning to use into either the Newcastle BS at 3% or Nationwide Champion ISA at 2.8% and the money you may need in the year into the Nationwide e-ISA with internet access and a decent (in the current market) interest rate of 2.75%.

Finally there's a better 1 year bond than the best Instant Access ISA, 3.25% compared with Santander's 3.2% instant access, however the Santander account interest rate is flexible and will hopefuly go up for those lucky enough to have gotten in while it was still at 3.5%, the other great thing about the Santander is you have internet access and a cash machine card.
