Savings Account Advice

I have recently come into some money and have started a HTB ISA. As we can't just put the full allowance into the ISA initially, I am looking for a savings account that we can use to "drip-feed" the ISA. Ideally, the account should be accessible online (not bothered about face to face aspect) and be able to set up standing orders (I think this last point is a big ask!) Anyone have any knowledge of any savings account that could do this?

Check out current accounts that pay interest0

Have a look round the forum. It's not a savings account you want, it's a current account. Those are about as instant access as anything you can get.Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.0

Not many savings accounts will let you set up standing orders. There is, however, nothing stopping you setting up a dozen post-dated transfers at monthly intervals
Still, a bit of a moot point considering how bad most instant access savings accounts are. The standard advice around these parts would be to a) use interest-paying current accounts instead or 2) use the rest of your ISA allowance in a S&S ISA.: )0
