  • humm the halifax is starting to look a bit nicer
  • Is this the best instant access on the market then? My ISA's with A&L (Direct issue 1) @ 5% but I heard that it won't be increased at all because A&L think another base rate rise will happen early next year.

    Kent Reliance BS offer a mini cash ISA paying 5.46%. They increased the rate by the full 0.25% following the November base rate increase to 5.00%. They also allow transfers.

    Savers who haven't used their cash ISA allowance for this tax year, can apply for the NS&I mini cash ISA. It pays 5.55% and guarantees to pay BOE base rate + 0.55% until April 2008.

    Is it an ISA Saver Direct? The internet only account? Still, 3.85% is very very low for any ISA.

    I presume you have the poor paying isa saver rather than the much better isa saver direct

    not internet only, telephone as well.

    I think 3.85% is about average for a "traditional style savings" isa. Certainly not market leading
