Can a good savings account give higher intrest after tax compared to ISA?

A recent example, now coming to an end, was the Lloyds TSB Vantage current account which offered 4% pa gross - equivalent to 3.2% pa net. Until recently, 3.2% pa for a cash ISA was hard to come by.

Hmmmmm my cash isas pay 4.4%, 4.5% and 5% respectively so that blows that argument out of the water.

I think it hasn't been mentioned yet, but you could consider tranfering you old ISAs (such as the Natwest e-ISA) to another provider giving you a better interest for example 3% and instant access.

Fortunately I was one of the earlier Natwest e-ISA holders so I am still receiving 3.26% on my instant access e-ISA £30k+. I can't get that rate on any instant acccess ISA that allows transfers in.
