Our Expert Opinion on Progressive Building Society 1 Year Double Access Cash ISA

Jonny PeaseCo-Founder, DepositScout

Progressive Building Society's 1 Year Double Access Cash ISA pays 4.50%, which sits near the market average for cash ISAs and is 0.75% behind the current market leader at 5.25%, so it is not a standout rate. That said, 4.50% does beat August 2026 CPI of 3.1% by 1.40%, so your money is at least growing in real terms. The key catch is limited withdrawals, so this suits savers who want occasional access but do not need full flexibility, with deposits capped at £20,000. If you want a slightly better fixed rate, Leek Building Society's 1 Year Fixed Rate Cash ISA offers 4.55%.
