Review of Scottish Widows Fixed Rate ISA
Scottish Widows have both Cash and Investment ISA options.
There are a range of Cash ISAs available at the moment each offering a competitive rate of interest. Many people are opting for current accounts in order to maximise their savings, particularly since the new PSA (Personal Savings Allowance) has allowed lower rate tax payers to save up to £1000 tax-free and higher rate tax payers up to £500.
However, there are still some great options for savers who’d like to put away more money than the current accounts will pay interest on.
It’s also important to remember that ISA allowance limits apply to everyone on an individual basis, so if you’re married or in a relationship, you can both hold your own ISA, each with the full allowance.
