    5.37% tax free, equivalent to
    5.50% AER (fixed) until 15 February 2006
    and then
    3.93% tax free, equivalent to
    4.00% AER (variable) thereafter :confused:
  • Sorry, im pretty simple with this.
    Does that mean the interest will drop in Feb and that when i max it in april ill get a poor rate?

    Is there a consistantly good ISA out there?

    If you want stability, go to Nationwide (4.5% now for non-'long-term members'). Those who chase best deals move now to Halifax (5%) or A&L (5.2%, includes bonus of 0.70% until 30.04.07).
