Cash ISA with 4.57% Interest is 'Flexible' and 'Pick of the Week'

Savvy savers can get a good deal.

A cash ISA with 4.57% interest is the 'market leader'. The tax year ends on April 6, 2026. This year's tax-free ISA savings allowance will end then. People can put up to £20,000 into ISAs each year. The HMRC tax year ends tomorrow, Sunday, April 6, 2026, and with it this year's tax-free ISA savings allowance.

Each year, people can put up to £20,000 into ISAs. If they don't use it, they lose it. Next year, people under 65 can only put £12,000 into cash ISAs. The overall ISA limit will still be £20,000, but the rest must go into a stocks and shares ISA.
