When to transfer my e-ISA??

I have an e-Isa with HSBC and the rate keeps dropping. It is now earning 1.75% AER, 1.74% Tax Free variable!!

I have been reading the transfer e-isa guide on here, but I am wondering when it the best time to transfer? Should I wait until the isa deadline passed in 12 days or so?

  • you can transfer anytime, takes a max of 60 days, if it does transfer before 5th april you will receive a pro rata amount.

    i have moved my isa many times with no probs and you won't lose any interest
