I have £500

I have been given £500 from my grandmother who passed away recently, I just want to save it and then begin saving after that. What is the best ISA/bank account to put this in? I'm clueless when it comes to things like rates etc 😊 help appreciated x

    Monthly transfer in of £500. ;)
    If that £500 gets air miles, it should get a free return trip to Cancun.

    Triple 5% deal till December 2016.
  • Thankyou I'll take a look ��

    You say you're clueless and yet you're on MSE, which is one of the best sites for telling you exactly the kind of information you're looking for - there is a whole section which will tell you exactly what accounts have the best interest rates and what you need to do to get them. Did you read this?
  • We are cluless too, because you don't even state if you have an income to fund an account such as the TSB. Do you have any other capital that can be added to it, for example?
