HSBC promotes cash Isa savings

David Wells, head of savings, investments and pensions at HSBC, recommended an Isa as the first savings product any taxpayer should own, noting its simplicity and accessibility.

He said: "In a very low interest rate environment, using the government's Isa scheme can be a great way to boost your savings."

Mr Wells added that allowance limits will increase for anyone under 50 on April 6th from £3,600 to £5,100 and so investors should make full use of their account.

An HSBC survey has shown 50 per cent of people in the UK have a cash-based individual savings account Isa.

However, only 37 per cent of tax payers took out a cash Isa in 2008 and 2009, according to fairinvestment.co.uk.

The website revealed more than £15 billion was lost to the taxman in unused Isa allowances at the end of the tax year in 2009.
