Nationwide Bonus Saver

This is no longer available to new saver, my daughter has one and she has got about 50k in it. She mostly banks with NW, I am wondering whether she should change to another account bearing in mind, she intends to buy a house soon and will have to use that money. I am not sure whether it will be better for her to leave the money in the bonus saver and then closes it when she needs the money. It might takes a long time to find the house she wants as we have been looking for nearly ayear now. Just want some advice on this. Thanks

    What is the interest rate on it?

    NW E-Savings pays 5.30% if she has a FlexAccount......

    Also, is she using her cash ISA allowance? NS&I pay 5.80% tax free on their Direct ISA into which you can invest £3000 per tax year.

    You might as well keep the money in there, you're getting 5.25% which is a fairly good rate
