Barclays Golden ISA

I was thinking of doing this, but according to the T&C's for the Golden ISA 2 you have to subscribe at least £1 at the time of application, so if you've already subscribed into another Cash ISA for the 2009/10 tax year you'll be breaking HMRC rules. I interpret this as meaning that I can't open a Golden ISA 2 for 2020/11 before 6 April as Barclays require money to be put in at the time of application.

Thanks for this, I do have online access... and if you need the £1 then your right. I will be waiting until tuesday 6th April to open mine, I hope they don't drop it before then!!

I can't imagine they will. Last years Golden ISA was not dropped until the beginning of June.

I've just transferred my Issue 1 Golden ISA to FirstDirect as I'm sure the rate will drop like a stone in a few months, just as the previous year's Tax Haven ISA did. Waiting with the full £5100 for April the 6th when I'll open a new Golden ISA issue 2. I would open one now with £1 but I've fully subscribed this year so I'm forced to wait until the 6th and they may well do a Santander and reduce the rates on the 5th (I read that on another thread on here - though they didn't drop the rate last year).
