ISA Review

Compare Royal Bank of Scotland ISAs Compare RBS ISAs – read our review and compare the features and benefits available from RBS. Find an ISA that suits you and make the most of your annual tax-free savings.

Using a normal savings account to keep your money safe and earn on the interest paid is all well and good, but the tax man is entitled to a cut of the interest you earn.

However, this doesn't have to be the case, as Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs) provide you with a place to store your cash without having to pay any tax on the interest you earn on your cash or investments. This is because the government has agreed to give every individual the opportunity to save up to £10,680 every year in cash and investment ISA's, tax free.

If you're not already doing so, make the most of tax-free savings and investment ISA's with an RBS ISA, because you cannot carry allowances over to the following year, so if you don't use it you will lose it.

RBS offers a range of cash and investment ISA's, allowing you to make your savings grow faster. If you already have a cash ISA and wish to move it to a new RBS ISA, all you need to do is fill out a Cash ISA Transfer form and RBS will do the rest.
