Rookie in need of assistance!

Hi All,

Just after a bit of advice. I'm only 2 pay days away from my ISA limit for this year (Yes already!)

I was looking for the best place to then put all that I can gather together until the next tax year. As my saving is never a fixed amount I was unsure if a regular saver would be the best way to go?

All ideas welcome!

Thanks in advance,

Mr_C

    The Coventry Telephone saver pays 3.25% instant access.
    We have a climate emergency and need to re-think investing strategies to avoid sectors that are part of the problem such as oil & gas and embrace climate-friendly options such as renewable energy.

    But only allows deposits up to 31 October 2012 so probably not the best choice.

    There are plenty of regular savers which allow flexible deposits.

    Have a look here - though not exactly right up to date :o

    Or a simple instant access account will give you around 3.2%

    or even here

    Will have a little browse now. Better start making my money work for me for a change!

    What would be a good rate to expect? (To make it a winning not a losing account?)

    You could keep a float in an instant-access account to smooth it out.

    I guess another way of looking at that would that you have an instant-access account drip-feeding to the reg.saver, and your sporadic savings are topping up that savings account.
