Cheers mate.

Transfer being the key word. Don't withdraw any money as you will loose the investment for that particular tax year. You need to get a transfer form and do it properly.

Seeing as it's that time of the year again, when does everyone recommend sticking their money?

in a barrel of fire, it might gather more interest that way

For the past few months I've been getting abysmal interest with HSBC... used to be around £10 and now its around 60p :/ .. I've had a look around and the Natwest e-ISA seems to be the best for transfers under £10,000.... as detailed here:

So I plan to move over 3.7K and add another 3.6K for this tax year... does anyone else have any comments or recommendations regarding the above? I'd rather not create a whole new account with another bank if I could help it (I'm just too damn lazy

) but I guess I'm not doing my money justice if I only get 60p interest on it !

My Alliance & Leicester ISA is now earning get this: 0.10%.

Needlessly to say I'll be transferring this one and will never ever touch anything from Santander who own A&L again.

Cash ISA with Halifax will earn 6.8%, matures in July. ISA Investor with the Halifax is up 1.2% since start of the tax year.

I've just transferred everything over to my new Natwest E-ISA.
Seems to be offering quite a good rate of interest, they are happy to accept transfer in and it's certainly paying better than my old Egg one.

I've gone over ten thousand beans on mine now, so I am getting some sort of higher rate.

Shame it took 3-4 years to be able to have 10 grand in it, and soon that will all be gone...

*Thumbs up to government and interest rates*

About 10%

Halifax are giving 0.1% on missus' ISA.
Getting 0.5% off the C&G on mine.
Strange thing is, the C&G mortgage base rate is less than the Halifax (so at least we are saving there).
TBH at present we are better off making an extra capital repayment off the mortgage rather than saving while the rates stay as they are. At least that will get us ahead for when the mortgages inevitably go back up to 8% post recession (though the cheeky buglers at the C&G have wised up and now charge a £10 handling fee if you want the extra payment applied immediately to reduce the term or monthly payment).
