Bank Accounts Latest News Santander launches new ISA Santander launches new ISA
Santander has announced the creation of a new ISA.
Consumers looking for the best ISA rates available in the UK following the recession may wish to take out a new deal from one financier.In news that may be of particular note to those with Santander savings, the lender has announced the launch of its Flexible ISA issue 4 from next Monday (August 15th) and this offers a guaranteed annual equivalent rate of at least 2.81 per cent.
This is because the product is set to track 2.31 per cent above the Bank of England base rate, a figure that has been maintained at a historically low level of 0.5 per cent since March 2009.
Reza Attar-Zadeh, director of savings and investments at Santander, observed: "[This] flexible ISA offers savers the best of both worlds for the first 12 months."
Research published by BM Savings last week (August 5th) established that 49 per cent of savers are planning to store their money in tax-efficient products in the near future.
