Mini Cash ISAs Overview
Mini Cash ISAs are best for people who have little savings or have to work on a small budget. Most banks and building societies in the UK offer mini cash isas and it's best to have a look around to see which one does the best deal.
The great thing about mini cash isas is that they work exactly the same as a regular savings account except all of the money, or interest rather, that you occur, it is completely tax-free. That's right, the tax man can't touch a penny of your interest!
