Anyone contribute to one of the these with their company?
We get to but at a 20% discount and then sell in 3 years or take our money back with 4.23% interest.
I'm thinking of doing this as our share price is super low at the mo

Isn't that worse than just putting it in an ISA?
My ISAs are currently getting about 4.75% lowest, 5.75% highest IIRC
.....or am I missing something?

Do you have a Share Incentive Plan as well as an SAYE scheme?
SIPs are MUCH better in 99.9% of cases

We have an SIP at work,
the company will match what we put in every month upto £64, (so if you pay in £64 a month you will be getting £128)
have to leave them for 5 years tho before its tax free

3-5 years you get some benfit too
Also the limit is either £125 per month or x% of your salary I pay £50 a month into ours so every mo nth I get given £50 worth of free shares in addition to saving 20% of £50 off my tax
