Savings Champion Rate Alert

Thursday 6th April 2017

As expected with the start of the new tax year, a torrent of new cash ISAs entered the market.

Bank of Cyprus UK launched a new range of fixed rate cash ISAs.

1 Year Fixed Rate Cash ISA - 1.13% tax free/AER
2 Year Fixed Rate Cash ISA - 1.23% tax free/AER
3 Year Fixed Rate Cash ISA - 1.28% tax free/AER

The most striking of which is the 1 year account, which now sits top of our best buy table. 

In the longer term table, Paragon Bank relaunched its 5 year fixed rate cash ISA, paying 1.75% tax free/AER.

Looking towards the variable rate ISA table changes were plentiful, with new best buys coming from; RBS, Natwest, Skipton Building Society and AA.

RBS and NatWest launched new accounts, paying 1.05% tax free/AER and 1.01% tax free/AER respectively. Although it is important to note that both come with a funding requirement, £20,000 must be deposited by the 5th of May 2017.

Further down the table, Skipton Building Society and AA also launched new accounts, paying 1.00% tax free/AER and 0.96% tax free/AER respectively.
