Help with saving money

Hi, Im new to savings. So far this year ive put £3,600 into my cash ISA.

I currently opened a halifax regular saver at 5% paying in £500 every month.

I have left over £500 to save every month. I chose the egg saver at 3.25% so hopefully in april i'll have enough to put a lump sum in my cash ISA.

My cash ISA at the moment is with Coventry Building Society paying a very poor rate.

Any help would be appreciated.

  • If you can tie up your ISA for a year you can transfer your poor paying Coventry BS ISA to a new provider paying a better rate. Kent Reliance BS are paying 3.2% fixed for a year or Julian Hodge Bank are paying 3.25% also fixed for a year., you can still open a new ISA next April with new money.
