Cash ISAs: The Best Currently Available List

**Please note: The list of ISAs I have compiled below is continually updated. New ISAs are added as they launch and withdrawn ISAs will be removed from the list. **

The current Cash ISA limit is £20,000 for the 2025/26 tax year.

**As with any financial product, before opening an ISA do ensure that you have read and understood the terms and conditions.**

Variable Rate Cash ISAs for 'new money' only (i.e. they don't accept transfers in):

All rates are subject to change without notice. Please check all rates and terms before investing.

This list is updated regularly, but if you can think of an Cash ISA I have missed please do post it on the thread.
Please call me 'Kazza'.

      Great post kazza. Someone should make this a sticky. Still planning to transfer my A&L to Abbey, but my new money 07/08 now looks like its heading to Barclays and not NS&I anymore. I wonder if we will see any other banks/building societys upping their game before the end of the tax year....

      Abbey is looking good for me aswell.

      I'm just wondering what to do with 07-08 allowance, have noted a few people transferring and opening new ISA's.. Is it not be more beneficial to put it into your existing ISA as the balance will be higher?

      In some cases you are right, it can be more beneficial, especially if the new 07/08 allowance takes the total ISA balance up to e.g. £9K or above (qualifying amount for the 5.75% rate from Abbey). This year there seem to be more competitive 'new money' isa's available, which tend to offer better rates that those that accept transfers in.

      At the moment my total isa balance is with one provider, but this year I will open a 'new money' ISA because the difference in rate makes it worthwhile.

      As some people have asked me to request that this thread be made a sticky I have done so. I intend to update the list as new ISA's are launched/withdrawn.
