Our Expert Opinion on Paragon Bank Cash Lifetime ISA

Paragon Bank's Cash Lifetime ISA at 3.51% suits first-time buyers saving towards a property up to £450,000 or anyone under 40 building a pot they plan to leave untouched until 60, and transfers in are accepted so you can consolidate existing LISAs here. The government bonus is the headline attraction, but the withdrawal penalty is the real catch to understand: if you take money out for any other reason, the 25% penalty claws back more than just the bonus, effectively costing you 6.25% of your own contributions too. If the rate matters most, Plum's Lifetime ISA is currently listed at 4.44% and Tembo at 4.00%, both worth a look before you commit.
