    Hi Everyone,

    Any sign of Abbey upping their rate after the BOE increase? I can see Kent Reliance have done so swiftly though so :T to them.

    Abbey usually increase the rate on the 1st of the month following a BOE base rate rise. So from August 1st 2007 the Direct ISA rate for balances of £9,000+ will be 6.25% gross. Total balances from £1 - £8,999 will go from, 5.75% to 6.00% gross.
    Please call me 'Kazza'.

    Another huge thank you Kazza, after scouring weekend money pages and comparison websites for weeks I stumbled across this thread. Many thanks for your efforts, they're greatly appreciated and I willingly add my voice to the calls for "sticky status".

    We can be certain that Abbey will increase it by 0.25% because of their rate guarantee:

    From the Abbey website:
    Rates are guaranteed to match any increase in the Bank of England base rate until 1 May 2008.

    We can't be completely certain of the date the increase will be effective from. However, when BOE base rate increased in May 2007, Abbey increased their Direct ISA rate on the 1st June. So, I think they will increase their rates on the 1st of August.
    Please call me 'Kazza'.

    Just adding my vote to the "make this a sticky" camp. I suppose someone could just keep bumping it up, but it seems a bit daft, given that it is one of the most useful posts on here. Thanks Kazza for all your hard work.
