    A bank account or better still a building society would not be a bad idea.

    The UK is about to see interest rates shoot up combined with out of control inflation.

    It was 20k per child, but they said that parents had been abusing it.

    85k limit is mandated by the EUSSR though, dirty red tape regulators, after Brexit it will be much nicer 0k...

    Zero tax too, even if you are an "additional" rate tax payer

    Coventry are just going to put their instant access savings up to 1.5% which isn't bad for high street and one hundred percent safe - better than the 123 currently (although that works well for me because I have a mortgage with Stan tander and pay three lots of council tax for rental properties so get quite a goodly chunk back in the rebate thing)

    Best place for £10k when ISA maxes out.... ERNIE?

    Maxes out ISA for this year, needs to be zero risk and instant access as it’s a house deposit, anywhere better than premium bonds? Is a 1-2-3 account more hassle than it’s worth now it has a £5 charge and the myriad of pre-requisites
