Topping up ISAs in new tax year

I have a current direct ISA with the Cheshire Building Society. I have not used any of my 2012/2013 allowance. If I put this in the Cheshire will the interest rate be that I got last year (2011/2012) or the lower rate that they are now offering new subscribers

Thanks

Sue Johnstone

    If it goes into the same account you get the same interest rate.

    Hi,

    i dont know if you have already done so since it seems really obvious, but have you contacted the building society and see what they say that would be the quickest and most direct way of finding out.

    Hope it helps

    Only if they haven't dropped the rate they were paying last year - - which is a very common pastime of all ISA providers!

    As RosieBee suggests, the building society would know.
