Today we have seen a show of force from Charter Savings Bank in both the fixed and variable rate cash ISA sectors.

If we first look at our variable rate best buy table, Charter Savings Bank has taken control with its 120 Day Notice Cash ISA, paying 1.25% tax free/AER. Seemingly not content with just holding top spot, the increased rate on its Easy Access Cash ISA sees the provider stake claim to fourth position too.

Charter Savings Bank now also leads the way in each of our fixed rate cash ISA best buy tables, following the launch of improved versions of its range of products.

The new version of its 1 Year Fixed Rate Cash ISA, paying 1.30% tax free/AER, outshines the rate on offer from Bank of Cyprus UK (paying 1.22% tax free/AER) and has taken the top spot.

Meanwhile, amongst the longer 5 year terms, Charter Savings Bank now sits atop our best buy table, paying 2.15% tax free/AER.

Interestingly, Charter Savings Bank also increased rates on its 2 and 3 year fixed rate cash ISAs, despite the fact that they were already leading the market for both terms. This sees the provider's lead stretch further, now paying 1.41% tax free/AER and 1.50% tax free/AER respectively.

For those who have already utilised this year's ISA allowance, rates of up to 2.50% gross/AER can be achieved in the fixed rate bond arena or up to 1.25% gross/AER with a standard easy access account. For further information, please refer to our best buy tables.
