With just days left until the end of the 2013/14 tax year, savers would be wise to move fast if you don’t want to miss out on this tax years' ISA allowance. That’s why we’ve worked up a handy guide of the last of the best rates available for this years' allowance.
It may be wise to opt for an ISA with ease of application such as online or branch based accounts, to ensure you don’t miss out. The important thing is to get the account opened and maximised in this tax year. If the rate isn’t competitive you can always transfer later, provided it allows access.
