Where can I transfer my ISA to to get a good rate?

Options
Hi,

I currently have £8,700 in an RBS ISA and I am getting 0.8%. I want to transfer the full amount to an ISA with a better rate. When I tried to do this with Standard Life they would only let me transfer £3,600 and many of the other higher rate accounts do not allow a transfer of any size. Can anyone help me find the best place to get the best return on my money?

Thanks,

    Probably better asked in the ISA sub-forum ^^^^

    Have a read through this post which lists the current ISA 'best buys' and shows those that do or do not accept Cash ISA transfers.

    For best rates.

    NatWest e-ISA - 3.51% AER
    Rate guarantee? Yes, but not at the current rate. AER guaranteed to be at least equal to Base Rate until 01.07.09. Rate effective from: 02/02/2009.
    Minimum deposit: £10,000 (to qualify for the higher rate). Operated via: Internet.
    Notes: 3.25% is paid on total balances of £1 - £9,999. Must have or open a NatWest Instant Access account (excluding e-savings and savings direct).

    Halifax's Direct Reward is looking popular at the moment. 3% fixed for a year, allows four withdrawals, unlimited deposits, and most imprtantly allows transfers in.

    I guess it depends on your needs.

    Beware variable rates on ISAs at this time of year. They usually start falling in July!!

    Yup that's why I went with the Halifax one personally. I'd rather know what I'm getting in the current climate!
