“And today, we’ve launched another top rate limited access account which is a great option for those savers who have already reached their full ISA allowance for this tax year.

“Our new Triple Access Saver can be opened online with just £1 and has a substantial maximum balance, making it an ideal account for non-ISA savings.”

There have been reports the Government is considering increasing the ISA allowance with an additional amount, for savings invested in companies on the London Stock Exchange.

Government officials are also said to be looking at creating a new type of ISA that would allow cash and stocks and shares to be held in the same account.
