What is an ISA?
An ISA (Individual Savings Account) is a savings account where the interest payments are tax free. This means your money could grow faster than in an account paying the same rate of interest which doesn’t have the same tax benefits. Interest from ISAs does not count towards your Personal Savings Allowance.
You can only subscribe to one cash ISA in each tax year (6 April to 5 April).
