Why use a Fixed Rate ISA?
Typically, a fixed-rate ISA account will pay more interest. In exchange for a higher rate, banks will ask you to tie up your cash. Generally, the longer you give up access, the higher the return. As it is a guaranteed amount, you know what you will end up with at the end which makes it a lot safer than investing.
ISAs are a good idea whatever your savings goal. With certain types of cash ISAs, you have instant access to your money, which makes it a flexible way to plan your finances.
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.
Nationwide is one of the few banks that offer a choice of Fixed Rate of ISA for one year or two year terms. This flexibility is attractive to customers who either cannot tie up their money for more than a year or for those who would like to see their savings grow for a bit longer. A minimum opening fee of £1 is a great option with those people with less to invest but who don’t want to miss out based on the higher deposit minimums of some other companies.
With a competitive rate of interest, Nationwide are offering some great options to savers.
