    You don't really "invest in a NISA". You invest in funds or shares, and you can have most of them in (N)ISA wrappers, to avoid any CGT.

    So you need to start by selecting your investment(s). Once you have chosen, you then need a platform that provides reasonable service at minimal cost.

    All of the above applies if you are after an S&S ISA. Tough I have a suspicion that you might actually be after a cash ISA? Perhaps you could clarify and provide some more details about your expectations, and your plans for the money.

    As for which Cash NISA to invest in - don't. Go for one of the many high intereste current accounts, if you can.

    With nearly 30,000 investment options available and an near infinite number of variations, you havent given us much to go on to narrow those options.

    as it stands, pick a number between 1 and 30,000. And that assumes you really mean investment ISA and not cash ISA.

    You don't invest in cash ISA, you save in them. Cash ISAs are just savings accounts where interest is paid gross, and where your maximum annual deposit is limited to your annual ISA allowance.

    So you are after instant access savings. Very different to investing.

    Your best option are two TSB Classic Plus current accounts, unless you got these already. In which case, the next best is a Club Lloyds for you.

    They pay way more than any cash (N)ISA will. Ignore (N)ISAs entirely, in your circumstances you get nil advantage from them.
