Hello.
Considering that interest rates are currently so low, what does it really mean if you take out a variable rate Cash ISA now?
Currently there seems to be a choice between 3% fixed for a year or 3.5% variable. Can the variable rate actually go down any more or is it more likely to actually increase, presuming that interest rates have to move upwards at some point?
I'm just wondering whether it may be a bad idea (based on the recent experience of plunging interest rates) to lock into a lower interest rate now rather than take a higher variable rate.
Thank you for any input.
