    Excellent - been waiting for that. They're not exactly fast out of the blocks when rates are heading upwards? But ... better late ..?

    That's what I thought. I kind of guessed that Halifax would release their new Web Saver interest rate this evening, especially after ING Direct showed their hand earlier on today with their own 0.25% rise to 4.75%. Rate-wise Halifax are in direct competition with ING, so they must have just been holding off until they knew what ING intended to do. Typical banks.;)

    Halifax have now increased the rate on their ISA Saver Direct from 4.75% to 5.00%, effective from today (1st September 2006).

    The new rate now appears on the Halifax website, here.

    The new rate also appears on the Halifax ISA Saver Direct webpage.

    The info is also available in my thread over on the ISAs, Toisas, Peps & Tessas board, here.
