Any reason to stick with Moneybox?
As above, would there be any benefit to keeping my Moneybox ISA
open with say £500? I opened the account early May with 10k new money plus a 10k

£85k FSCS cap - Risk to reward appetite!
I am currently in year 3 of a 5 year fix rate ISA deal with Shawbrook Bank where I’ve been depositing my full £20k allowance each year.
