ISA round up - 24th March
24/03/2026
Easy access ISA rates remain largely the same as last week but it is a different story on fixed ISAs where the war in Iran continues to fuel interest rate increases as market price for Base Rate hikes to curb the inflation it is causing. 1 Year ISA best buys highlight the situation with all the top 10 paying more than last weeks best buy. Last nights ceasefire announcement has calmed matters for the time being but it is likely to remain a volatile situation. It's difficult to know where next but there's some excellent rates available and the situation will need to worsen before rates go significantly north from here. Here's our round up of the best buys and key changes in Individual Savings Accounts:
