Instant Access Cash ISAs are an ideal place to save as the interest received is tax-free.

Accounts are available that allow you to save on a monthly basis or a lump sum, however the maximum that you can save in any financial year is £5,340.

As with other types of savings accounts there are ISAs available that offer instant access, require you to give notice to withdraw your money or offer a fixed rate of interest for a period of time. Each option will offer a different rate of interest.

Formed in April 1999, ISAs replaced the earlier Personal Equity Plans and the Tax-Exempt Special Savings Accounts. ISAs were predominately manufactured to attract a wider audience thanks to their tax-free situation and substantial rates of interest.
