Virgin E-ISA?

Hi 'am looking at switching ISA's, on checking my old Virgin E-ISA it says the interest rate is 2.40% gross at present. Should I wait to switch, just thought the interest would have changed, unsure what it was originally & can't find on original paperwork. Sorry for sounding stupid, but would appreciate any help

Thx

    I had an ISA with Virgin for a year at 2.85% and was given notice that it would reduce to 2.4% from today as it happens. Still better than most, so am keeping it there.

    Hi originally the ISA was with 'Northern Rock', I've not had an email to say of any reduction in interest rates..................as you say most ISA's out there are poor..................Thx..................just checked some junk email, I've been away & yes an email(dated 20/03/13) of the reduction in interest to 2.40% for the E-ISA account was there.

    What made me query it was that there E-ISA at the moment is only 2.15%? How come ours is still 2.40%

  • They perhaps want to keep our custom, I used to be on the Northern Rock e-ISA at 2.80% but am now on 2.40%.
