Why Stick To ISA's

Sorry if this has been covered before but I have £38K tied up in Nationwide ISA now paying an average of .75% tax free. Without trying I can get 2.4% net in other accounts so why bother with the ISA's?

    1. You can transfer the ISAs to be better paying.
    2. ISAs give tax free interest, so if the rates reverse in a year you will be benefiting greatly.

    tax free - accumulation of interest/additional allowances will provide a large lump sum over a number of years - there are better ISA rates out there at the moment paying over 3% which you can transfer into- have a look at moneysupermarket.com
