Principality Building Society

Hello,

I was looking at the Principality Building Society with a view to transfer my TOISA with the Nationwide to them. At 6% for their internet ISA, it better than the nationwide.

Anybody had any dealing with this Building society or any points about this account.

I've transferred an old ISA and TOISA to them - all went smoothly. I did open a 2008/9 ISA with them - you need to check whether they do 'transfer-only' accounts (if they don't, Icesave and Kent Reliance do).

They have been helpful to me over the last 6 months - always answering etc

Thery're OK for what they are - a regional building society. But they don't do obvious things - like allowing your passbook-based account details online together with their 'online' accounts and 'online' accounts can't transfer to 'non-online' accounts held with them either (This isn't a problem is you only have a single account with them I suppose) ALTHOUGH they can send money to your external bank account for instance.

I wanted to transfer some of my ISA to them, but found they (unlike the majority of providers sampled) don't facilitate partial ISA transfers (Another pain in the rectum.)

Thanks for your replies.

I have one ISA account, and one tiosa account with the same provider. It was the full TOISA account I was going to transfer, and leave the ISA one where it is.

Should be fine in that case..

To be fair, they're not the only ones - Nationwide show non-internet accounts but you can't do anything with them, and Leeds don't show them (and from memory not even interest rates for 'Direct' accounts).

You could have a look at Newcastle Building Society who offer a two year fixed rate Option 21 isa at 6.30%.
