I'm joining in the transfer query band wagon.
YBS E-ISA 5.65%
versus
Abbey Drect ISA 5.50% (5.75% on 9k+)
Rates are effective from 2 March 2007. Includes variable rate bonus, currently equal to 0.50% gross p.a. which is payable until 1 May 2008. Rates are guaranteed to match any increase in the Bank of England base rate until 1 May 2008.
versus anything i haven't thought about..? I'm open to suggestions.
My mother and I have got A&L ISA's and want to transfer before the bonus finishes.
Anyone got any ideas to throw my way.

Hi jenyking,
I also have a A&L Direct ISA and have already started the transfer process to YBS awaiting completion. If Abbeys offer may have popped up earlier I would have gone for Abbey as my ISA is more than 12K.
Anyway, good luck in whatever you decide.0 -
One other Isa to consider would be the Kent Reliance building society, which pays 5.71%. However, I'm not sure if they have a rate guarantee.0
