Can anyone help resolve this issue please

We have an offset tracker mortgage with Intelligent Finance currently paying a rate of 1.79% (great rate I know) Is it worth me & other half using our ISA allowance and taking money out of our savings pot with Intelligent Finance to earn more interest elsewhere. We really want to maximise on our money and make it work as hard as possible for us. My maths isn't great and interest rates just baffle me Many thanks. :huh:
