https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/savings/best-cash-isa/Unfortunately I don’t think Martin monitors the forums.When you say it is ‘doing nothing’ I presume you mean getting low interest?Wha do you want it to ‘do’?Do you want easy access to all/some of it (best Cash ISA 0.9%, best non-isa 1.16%)
Are you willing to lock it away for higher interest?Does it need to be in an ISA (will you pay tax on interest, want to invest it soon?)
Do you want to hold it as cash?What do you want to use the money for?
N. B. Have assumed you meant cash ISA not stocks and shares.2 -
