Our Expert Opinion on Nottingham Building Society Flexible Easy Access ISA

Jan WatermannCo-Founder, DepositScout

Nottingham Building Society's Flexible Easy Access ISA pays 1.7%, which is below the market average for Cash ISAs and 3.42% behind the category leader at 5.12%, so this is hard to recommend on rate alone. It also sits 1.40% below CPI inflation of 3.1% (Aug 2026), meaning your money is losing real value. The unlimited access and £750,000 maximum balance are generous, but savers who want easy access without sacrificing return would do better looking at alternatives like Moneybox's Open Access Cash ISA at 3.80% or Sidekick's Cash ISA at 3.23%.
