Leeds launches new fixed rate ISA with 25% access

Leeds Building Society's new 1 year fixed rate ISA at 3.25% gross p.a./ AER is the highest paying fixed rate ISA account on the market offering penalty free access to the funds.

The 1 year ISA at 3.25% is available from Good Friday, 6th April, the first day of the new 2012/ 2013 tax year when the cash ISA limit increases to £5,640. Furthermore, over half of Leeds Building Society's branches will be open on Good Friday (and all branches are open on Saturday, 7th April) to assist those who wish to invest their new tax year allowance early.

Kim Rebecchi, Leeds Building Society's Sales and Marketing Director said, "Our 1 year ISA at 3.25% is the best fixed rate ISA currently available with penalty free access.

"I anticipate this tax free account, available for the new 2012/ 2013 tax year allowance of £5,640 and with access to 25% of the funds without notice or penalty, will be popular. It is available to open by post, online and in branch, and has a minimum investment of just £1.

"With over half of our branches being open on Good Friday, and all on Saturday, we are assisting those customers wishing to invest and start earning interest as early as possible on their new tax year allowance."
