    Keep the money together

    Have a look at halifax 3 year fixed rate ISA which pays a decent 4.25%

    A cash ISA is a saver - - - Individual Savings Account - - - just with the advantage, to most people, that the interest is tax free.

    Even if someone is currently not a tax payer, it could make sense to opt for an ISA because
    1. they might become tax payers at some time in the future
    2. there are currently no normal savings accounts that pay as much interest as the best ISAs
