Cash ISAs: The Best Currently Available List

Are they easy enough to transfer out of once the rate drops after a year?

It's a variable ISA, the rate could drop (or indeed rise) at any time. The bonus bit over 3.6% is fixed for a year, the basic rate is a quasi-tracker (it's link to the BoE base rate can be altered).

There have so far been two threads where people have been caught out by the Trading212 10 day funding window to secure the promotional rate. If you were looking to get that, you'd need to wait a few more days.

Why does it say no cash ISA transfers to Trading 212 on Moneyfacts but when googled it states...

Yes, you can transfer an existing Cash ISA into a Trading 212 Stocks & Shares or Cash ISA without losing tax-free status. Transfers are free and initiated directly in the app, usually taking up to 15 working days. You can transfer full or partial amounts from previous or current tax years.

Just seen on Moneyfacts Saffron BSOnline ISA (Issue 3) 4.5% min £1 . Withdrawals allowed, also Transfers In but non flexible.

However their website is showing 3.95% for this issue

Moneyfacts is showing

Furness 5 year 4.48% (and also a 2 year 4.45% akin to the West Brom 18 month one at the same rate)

anyone know how the transfer process goes with these Building Societies.

Lovely to see the established building societies fighting back the newbies on the block with these fab rates

Never transferred into either of them before, but I imagine that the process might be a bit slow, given that 1) they are some of the top rates available, so likely to be popular, and 2) they are small-ish building societies so might not be used to high demand

Now showing on Saffron website. Anyone with the Issue 3 already will have rate increased automatically I have been told by web chat just now

Saffron BS 4.5% cash ISA - good rate and allows transfers in. Although withdrawals are allowed their is a downside. It is not a flexible cash ISA.

You won't earn the promotional rate on transfers, so it is treated as a different product on Moneyfacts.

I've just upgraded issue 2 to this new issue via secure message. It only took them 10 minutes to respond - I'm very impressed.
