New ISA from Scarborough Building Society

A new ISA has been launched by the Scarborough Building Society (SBS) that promises an interest rate of 6.1 per cent AER until March 31st 2008.

The guaranteed ISA plus issue 2 is a cash mini ISA - which means the maximum an account holder can invest in a tax year is £3,000.

It is available to all new ISA savers, while it is also possible to transfer funds from an existing ISA or Toisa into the account.

However, in order to access the account a minimum investment of £1,000 is required.

Tony Burdin, head of marketing at SBS, said he was pleased the new ISA offered a “guaranteed interest rate and access to funds”.

“As a mutual building society, we believe we have a responsibility to encourage people to save, and rewarding them for making the most of the tax free benefits ISA’s offer is a key aspect of that,” he added.

Interest on investments over £1,000 will be 5.5 per cent AER from April 1st 2008 to March 31st 2009.

The deadline for investing in ISA’s for the current tax year is April 5th.
