UK Individual Savings Accounts Industry Discussed by Timetric in New Research Study Now Available at MarketPublishers.com

12 Feb 2015 • by Natalie Aster

LONDON - With interest rates being at their lowest levels after individual savings accounts (otherwise known as ISAs) were introduced, commitment of UK consumers to saving has dropped significantly. Consequently, the ones who can afford to save take a decision to pay off their long-standing debts or opt for shares accounts or stocks.

In early 2012, the average rate offered on cash ISAs stood at 2.55 percent. The figure was no more than 1.64 percent in early 2014. In the meantime, the average rates for savings accounts notably decreased since 2008. They were at 1.48 percent in 2014. In FY2013-2014, over two thirds of ISAs opened were still in cash.

At present, stocks as well as shares ISAs have initiated to show signs of recovery. Real wages did not show any positive growth over 2009-2013 and the first three quarters of 2014. In 2014, consumer credit growth picked up for the first time after the financial crisis. Demand for credits as well as their availability grew as well (in Q2-Q3, 2014).
