Post office mini ISAs

I opened up a Post Office mini ISA account last year and also have savings in ING Direct.Is there more I can do to save than this or is it best to stay with what I have?

Thanks.

Ian.

    you have your stocks and share mini ISA assuming you wanted to take on some higher risk in the stockmarket other than that you have use up your ISA allowance and you have a good savings account all you have to do is now wait until the new tax year and fill up your ISA again :)

    of course depending on your cicumstances your have the regular saver at 7% and charity banks but its up to you to decide

    I cannot find any information about a Post Office mini ISA. However, I never seen it (?) among best buys. You can always transfer your ISA to other provider, though some providers can charge you for transfer (check with Post Office). Do not forget that you can add £3000 to old ISA or open new one during each financial year.

    ING is good, but not the best. A&L online saver offers the same flexibility, but with 5.35%. Sign up through Linemypocket and get extra £6 cash.
    Some less flexible regular saving accounts offer even more:
    HSBC 8%,
    Halifax 7%,
    Derbyshire BS 5.85% …

    Just read relevant articles and boards and then ask more specific questions…
