ISA additional allowance 4 over 50s

Leasholm15

Is there a list of ISA providers who are allowing the topup? with only 10 days to go and I hear on hte BBC that not all banks are on board with this.

Check with your existing 2009/10 ISA manager, as you can only subscribe the additional £1,500 to that ISA/ISA Manager.

Not necessarily - http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1970167

BTW, Lloyds TSB have told my wife she can add the £1,500 to her 3.2% 12-month fixed rate cash ISA and C&G have told me I can do the same with my 3.5% 2-year fixed rate ISA although they also asked me to call into my local branch to discuss transferring to a 3.75% 2-year fixed rate ISA even though I only opened the 3.5% version in April this year!

I prefer to refer to the HMRC ISA Guidance Notes, rather than the Daily Mail - which refers to 'some of the nation's 19m Isa savers' and 'some members of the public', rather than giving carte blanche in all circumstances.

Totally agree you need to check with your existing provider - they can set their own rules.

I would also double check (once now and 2nd time when you pay the extra amount in) - in case you get someone who gives the wrong info.
