Lifetime Isas 

You can use a lifetime Isa to buy your first home or save for later life. You must be 18 or over but under 40 to open one. 

You can put in up to £4,000 each year, until you’re 50. The government will add a 25 per cent bonus to your savings, up to a maximum of £1,000 per year.

Dear Saver,

This is Money’s savings tables are unique. They are independent and providers do not have to pay to appear, which can be the case at comparison sites.

They are completely unbiased – we simply show the best rates around – and providers cannot pay to get themselves up the rankings.

The only way they can get to the top of the table is by offering you a better deal. 

We will include accounts with decent bonuses and restrictions on withdrawals, but will always flag these. 

If you are looking for a true easy access account, then you should consider avoiding those with strict limits on withdrawals before the rate drops.

It is also worth looking for a flexible Isa, which can be a great tax-beating tool, as these let you take money out and pay it back in during the same tax year without eating your precious annual Isa allowance.

All banks and building societies are registered with the Financial Services Authority and signed up to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, either directly (protecting up to £120,000) or via its passport scheme (where the compensation limit depends on the bank’s home country. In Europe it is €100,000).

If you have a question about the tables email editor@thisismoney.co.uk putting Savings Tables in the subject line.

And don’t forget to sign up to This is Money’s Savings Alerts to be the first to find out about the best rates when they land. 

Sylvia Morris, This is Money savings tables expert
