nationwide instant access isa

Options
Hi

I have a Nationwide instant access isa and want to work out how much money I will get (approx) in April.

At the start of last April the interest rate was set at 4.8%

Does anyone have any information for the interest rate at for the months it was reduced.

Think it now stands at 1.8%

  • Assuming you have less than 10K on deposit, you are earning 1.5%

    This rate came in on 1st Jan 2009, lets hope it doesn't fall any lower.
  • Cheers!

    Will I not get a certain amount paid at the 4.8% though?

    I just want to see if I had a good interest rate for at least half of the financial year!

    I know from November to April I will get poor rate

    cheers
  • Yes you will get the higher rate for part of the year.

    I have a 50/50 split in my savings between cash isa and premium bonds.

    With premium bonds returning 1.8% with average luck, I may be tempted to up the amount I put in to premium bonds.

    Where is the incentive to save £3600 a year in the cash isa returning such a bad amount. I just hope rates don't fall any further?

    The incentive is that you are probably receiving less than 1.8% on the premium bonds, and, even with the low rates, you can still get way more than this in an ISA.
