    Or do you have partner, brother/ sister, parent that is not using their ISA allowance for the yr? if not then consider opening another one.....though it would be techincally seen as their money.. but if you can trust them then there shouldnt be any problems..:confused:

    I was advised on MSE and have opened this one...

    That's a bit of a risk for the sake of an extra 1% interest - Has the OP considered using regular savers?

  • I have £10,000 sitting in my savings account - I've never even looked into ISA's - are they easy to get your money out of if you need it in a hurry or are you tied into a certain time period? (as you can probably tell I'm new to this)!

    If you don't get a fixed one, you can draw from your ISA whenever you wish, however, if you decide to put money back into your ISA, it will count towards your £3000 per year allowance.

    Some banks let you draw from a fixed ISA with loss of interest made.
