My husband and I are planning on moving back to the US in two years' time and want to take as much advantage of the strong UK pound while we can. Every year I get a pretty reasonable bonus through work, and we want to use that to build a decent downpayment for a house when we arrive. We're currently paying off a lot of debt and have no savings.
We're thinking of opening an ISA account, but we really have no idea which bank to use or even if that's the best route to go down. I've heard good things about Halifax's savings schemes, but I want to be fully informed before we make an choices. I'm also wondering about investments like savings bonds? My knowlege on this subject is woeful so any tips or advice would be welcome.
