Our Expert Opinion on Vida Savings Easy Access ISA

Jonny PeaseCo-Founder, DepositScout

Vida Savings Easy Access ISA pays 3.86%, which is 1.26% below the best Cash ISA on the market at 5.12%, and sits below the market average, so it is hard to recommend on rate alone. It does beat August 2026 CPI of 3.1% by 0.76%, which at least preserves real value. The £500 minimum is worth noting, and if you want a closer alternative, Tembo's Standard Cash ISA is currently at 4.00%. This account suits savers who already hold a Vida relationship and want ISA flexibility with instant access.
