Untouchable savings?!

  • Hi Mabel - I opened a Principality ISA this year (my first ever ISA!) and it has a fixed rate of 6.5% with no withdrawals allowed for 12 months. I found the name and details on Martins page about high paying ISAs and this was one of the best rates as long as you don't touch it for a year. Oh and you have to pay in your whole £3,600 allowance.

    Hope this helps and good luck!
    To be frugal, you need to spend money wisely, simply spending less is not enough.
    If you can't handle me at my worst then you don't deserve me at my best...
    Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I will try again tomorrow.
