YBS - cash Isa £50 reward

I have been looking at this account to transfer £11k - have decided to go for one year and see how things go next year - they are offering 3% with a £50 cheque bonus payable at the start

Seems the best I can find

    I've read reports of long delays and errors in ISA transfers between organisations. If the account is only opened once the funds arrive, and there is a delay, the deadline could be easily missed.

    I hope that you noticed that if you make a withdrawal other than in December then you will lose a month's interest on the total balance.

    The money is there for retirement so I'm not bothered about withdrawls, but yes I was aware.

    Thanks

    As someone has said watch out for the cost to withdraw money, and for anybody with more than £11k to transfer, their standard e-isa offers a better rate with no penalties.
