My Best Savings Game Plan?

I have opened a TSB Current account paying 5% on up to £2000 and have a Cash ISA paying 1%.

Come payday at the end of the month I'm not sure whether its best to put the money in the Tax free ISA or the TSB account or a % split of the two.

Max out ISA first? Get up to the £2K in TSB first or somewhere in the middle.

Thanks for the help.

    Max out the TSB account. £2,000 at 5% will give you £80 after basic rate tax while £2,000 in your ISA gives you only £16. As you can put £15,000 pa into an ISA you can think about it once you are closer to that figure

    Have you remembered to go paperless for all correspondence with your TSB account?
