Matt Hall, Head of Savings at Santander, commented: “With only three months in to the new tax year, savers should be looking to make use of their full cash ISA allowance sooner rather than later. Depositing money in a cash ISA is a great way to save, with benefits including nearly a full year of tax-free interest, and there are some good rates of return available for those who are prepared to shop around.”
