It's time to find a better ISA account... :D

The ING Cash ISA looks like a winner at least for 12 months (1.47% fixed bonus), but has anyone else dealt with them? :) I'd really appreciate any info - also, do they use outsourced foreign call centres?
 
Im with ING, started about 9months ago as it had the best rate at the time. It has dropped a lot recently (but who hasn't?) but its just so simple to use.

The customer service is brilliant as well.
 
I used to be with them and I never had to call them once. All of my queries were handled via the website and it was easy and fast.
I closed down the account though as I have a combined mortgage and current account now.
 
Got a savings account with them but it's all online. I've never spoken to anyone.

I just closed my ING account and put this years ISA allowance into Natwest - 3.51%.
 
Savings and mortgage with ING.. One of my better decisions to switch to their mortgage.. I got a very good mortgage deal and it's flexible. I over pay each month and i can see the capital coming down. As for savings, very easy to setup and I can move money around easily between current, ISA, saving and my tax accounts. Very good service.
 
Very happy with ING - had an ISA with them before and had savings moved from Kaupthing to them when Kaupthing went bust , always had good service.

The Natwest ISA can be transferred but for some reason not between Natwest accounts :mad: I have a Natwest ISA paying like 0.5% and I can't move it to their 3.xx% account unless I move it to another provider first, then back :confused:
 
I seem to have inherited an ING account as a result of my now defunct kaupthingedge edge account last year. They write to me almost every day with junk mail :( Hate them.
 
Intresting to know what the best ISA is out there at the moment now that my Kent Reliance is now paying pap rates.

On a side note, I got my annual statement through from my old child savings account with skipton (http://www.skipton.co.uk/savings_and_investments/childrens_savings/leap_account/) and I was pleasantly shocked to see it is paying 1.8%!

EDIT:

Just looked at their Online Cash ISA, and its paying 2.25% which isnt bad. Though I suspect they have a withdrawl penalty.

This is rather annoying. I had a Kaupthing account and already held an ING ISA at the time. They send me e-mail and post advertising their ISA to me, including the bonus rates for new customers - obviously they for some reason haven't related my two accounts with exactly the same name and address to each other.

I also had to complain to ING when I didn't get a bonus rate described in a letter that was sent to me. It was only about £10 worth but the only reason I stayed with them at the start of the tax year was because of the letter.

Wrote them a letter, got one back at their first "target" date of five days for responding to complaints to say that they were still investigating and would get back to me within the banking code's 3 week target.

Pretty much at the end of that period I received a letter to tell me they'd added £25 to my account, about £13 was the amount I would have after compound interest on the amount for 10 years, and the rest was just as an apology.
Turned out the initial letter I got with the bonus rate was sent to me by mistake and I was never meant to have it.
I can't really fault them on the response although it did take a while.

At any rate the interface is easy to use and I don't have any major problems with ING, but the Natwest e-ISA is a much better rate at the minute for me, without any bonus rates which will disappear, so I've just opened that and will be transferring everything in the ISA there shortly. Already have a current account with natwest so it's quite useful having them in the same place, provided RBS don't succumb :D. I don't really want to have all of my savings in the Netherlands anyway.

Never had one ?? Maybe you have ticked or not ticked a box somewhere in the past, maybe inherited from the previous account.
