Saving Account or ISA

Please can you advise which would be best and which at present is giving a good rate of interest? 
And which has no penalties on with drawls or deposits  on a monthly basis  if the need be to do this 

The amount is 10k plus

    For this you need an easy access cash ISA.

    You will generally pay a penalty for withdrawing from a fixed rate cash ISA (before maturity) and they also tend to have funding windows of 2-4 weeks which means you can't pay into it on a regular basis (although there are one or two exceptions to this such as the Barclays 1 or 2 Year Flexible ISAs) so it sounds like an easy access ISA will suit your needs.

    The highest-paying easy (and unrestricted) access cash ISA rate is currently 5% with either the Skipton BS or Moneybox - see here for the best rates : https://moneyfactscompare.co.uk/isa/easy-access-cash-isas/?quick-links-first=false

    Skipton's 'Bonus Cash ISA Saver' can be managed online and is flexible, so you can replace withdrawn funds before the end of the tax year without it counting towards your annual £20k ISA limit.

    Moneybox's Cash ISA is app only and isn't flexible, so any withdrawn cash that is replaced will count towards your ISA limit.

    Note that you can get up to 5.15% in a normal (non-ISA) easy (unrestricted) access account at the moment, so you would need to consider your tax situation before deciding which is the best option.

    Also if you are likely to pay tax on interest (now the tax-free limits are going down) an ISA means you don't need to declare the interest to HMRC as its tax-free, and also the rate is nominally "better" than a normal savings account if you have to pay tax on the interest you get.

    Have you actually considered looking at the links to the best ISAs and doing some research ?

    A recommendation to check the terms of the account you signed up for?
