I remember reading that the bonus payment isn't counted as interest, so whilst it is paid outside of the ISA wrapper it shouldn't be taxable (obviously until you put it somewhere else that earns interest on that payment).

{ETA - sorry, I may be wrong here, as obviously it's still "income" so possibly should be reported somewhere - but it won't count towards your £1000 PSA}

Not sure about the FSCS, but I'd think it is covered as all the wallet funds are covered within Prosper (via Griffin Bank)

Mrs BB caught that as she was in a branch today, so she pounced!

was looking on Moneyfacts this morning and noticed that Leek Building Society have some good rates on cash ISA's fixed rate 4.6% on the 5 year, which I think is the best out there from other posts

so I am interested In getting a good fixed rate for the new tax year as I used allowance for this year, however, I also want to transfer last years isa to, as these rates are slightly better. Is this quite easy to do? And which ones allow this?

I’m new to this really, understand general rules but the transfer in thing doesn’t look as straightforward as I hoped, didn’t really want multiple accounts but seem to have that going on. Is there another thread that’s useful to us newbies?

I wonder if the Nationwide ISAs will last until the 6th (seeing as they have to be funded immediately)?

Is there any reason why Etoro's 4.81% Cash ISA isn't listed?

Same case here, money going into the FRISA account just a few days before they raised the rate to 4.5%. I will check if I can switch during the cooling off period. If not, how to raise a complaint? Would MSE help?

How long did it take and from which provider? I need to move 2 ISA's from Cynergy and Aldermore. Saffron form is a bit strange to be fair as I will have partial transfers leaving a quid behind in both and had a lot of transfers. if my understanding is right transfers can only be submitted in the first 15 days after account opening?

You'd need to check the terms to see if that switch (and associated cashback offer) is allowed.

Don't think you'd have grounds for a complaint (if the transfer were disallowed) just because the rate had increased for a new product - you agreed to the terms offered at the point of signing up. Would you have complained if the next day the rate had decreased?

Would MSE help how?

The ISA Transfer must be received by Saffron within 15 calendar days of opening. Strictly speaking, if the money coming in via transfer took the full 15 working days, and you were slow in sending in your form, Saffron might justify closing the account after 30 calendar days if the money hadn't arrived by then, but I suspect that would be considered quite harsh since the transfer timeframe is out of your control. Best to get the form in ASAP.
