This week saw a number of banks and building societies increase rates on fixed ISA products. Close Brothers Savings increased the rate on its already competitive two year fixed ISA, which now pays 1.20% AER.
Savers looking for an easy access ISA will see that competition at the top of the chart has increased, with Paragon Bank now offering its Triple Access Cash ISA (Issue 5), which pays the joint-top rate in this chart
Rate increases from West Brom Building Society sees it now top the fixed rate ISA charts, paying the best rate in the five, three and two year charts, as well as the joint-top rate in the one year chart
In the easy access ISA chart this week Cynergy Bank changed the issue number and increased the rate on its easy access ISA, resulting in it paying the top rate in this chart of 0.65% AER
Some so-called easy-access accounts - that boast of market-leading rates - in fact have strict rules around when customers can make withdrawals - and even deposits.
