Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The deal
Aldermore Bank is offering a one-year, fixed-rate Isa paying 2.25 per cent.
Good points
There are no hidden catches or introductory bonus rates. The rate isn't just offered to newly-opened Isas, savers can also transfer cash from existing tax-free plans.
Bad points
Putting your cash into a fixed-rate deal now could mean missing out on better rates.
Conclusion
This account bucks the annoying and misleading trend for savings institutions to offer seemingly great rates that include massive bonuses. The rate you see is what you get. But if you don't want to tie your cash up for a year, Aldermore also has a 60-day notice Isa, paying a variable rate of 2.1 per cent.
