Yorkshire Building Society is offering customers a variable rate of 4.85 per cent through it Loyalty Six Access ISA.
Previously, the building society offered a non-ISA savings account which paid account holders an interest rate of 5.10 per cent.
However, the building society’s ISA is now paying a variable rate starting at 4.85 per cent on balances up to £20,000 and 4.75 per cent over £20,000.
This comes as many high street banks and building societies, including Nationwide and Santander, have slashed the savings rate attached to their accounts.

He said: “As we approach the end of the financial year it is a traditional time for savers to take the final opportunity to top up their annual ISA limit and to start thinking about their financial plans for the year ahead.
“We’ve supported generations of people and millions of members to save for important moments in life so we’re really proud that we can launch another member reward account.
“We paid rates 41 per cent higher than the market average last year, and the new Loyalty Six Access Saver ISA further demonstrates our investment in our members and also allows them to benefit from a competitive return on their money for a year, whilst allowing access to their funds at multiple times throughout the year.”
