An ISA (Individual Savings Account) is a savings account with a difference. This type of account allows you to invest a limited amount of money every year that provides tax-free returns.
There are two types of ISAs, Cash ISAs and an investment ISAs. Everyone over the age of 16 can invest up to £11,280 into ISAs, with up to the ability to use the full £11,280 for an investment ISA, or up to £5,640 in a cash ISA and the remainder into an investment ISA.
There are a wide range of ISA providers, each offering different features and benefits, such as a high ISA rate, instant access to your funds, the ability to transfer existing ISAs and much more.
Most people are attracted to accounts offering the highest ISA rate, as none of the interest earned is subject to tax, so you can make your money grow faster.
