You’ve left it very late so I suggest you forget about trying to find ‘the best’ and simply open an Easy Access cash ISA with an institution where you already hold an account as they shouldn’t need to do any extra ID or security checks. Check their cut off date for funding though as some have already closed.

That's good so you do get your interest with them monthly, including the boost rate and no issues transferring out during the 12 months and then losing any interest?

The fact that several people are still asking about exactly what is the rate that Prosper pay, on what, for how long and when do they pay it confirms that their terms are very badly worded - and gives me no confidence in their product or them.

Week ago you could have opened a Saffron BS EA ISA at 4.5% with "normal" terms.

I think it's only one person (edit: two people?) querying it and I didn't have any difficulty locating or understanding the information. It certainly isn't badly worded or hidden away in the terms and conditions.

I'm happy with 4.6% plus £100 cashback (NLA)

Yes - ideally your own bank so you can move the funds immediately.

And then transfer out on Tuesday to a better paying account.

Boy - I messed that up, didn't I ?! Must be disoriented with the long weekend…

"With today being a Saturday and the 5th being a Sunday"

Luckily that error doesn't change the underlying message - that it's now too late to open and fund an ISA with many ISA providers.

I signed up yesterday using the PROSPERCASH £100 bonus for the 4.7% rate.

I have queried it today before I fund it on Tuesday but they have said the 4.7% is no longer available even though I'd signed up yesterday. It was a BOT answer so will be querying it with a human tomorrow.

Or maybe Tuesday!

for the HSBC cash back offer when putting new funds into an ISA - if the money goes from external savings account to my HSBC current account and then immediately to the ISA does any one know if that still counts as new money ?
