    Hi, I have spoken to Principality recently and they have mentioned that they are going to withdraw their 3 year fix ISA account on 20th May.

    I subscribed to Skipton Regular Saver Account on November Last year where the interest rate was still 5%. But I understand that the interest is variable so could go down. Did anyone know the current interest rate?

    I am trying to find it from their website, but cannot find this info.

    Hey Kazza, Barclays Golden ISA (issue 3) is 2.22% AFAIK

    Great job BTW.

    EDIT: rate was 3.25% if opened before 15th May and 2.22% thereafter.

    Sorry to bump...

    MY Halifax online banking shows
    ISA Saver Direct

    and a rate of only 0.5%. The transfer is in there but not 'available' til 24th May.

    Should I sit tight and the account will sort itself out?

    Have you asked for it to be redesignated to an ISA Direct Reward? Or a Fixed Rate ISA? Or not asked anything?

    If so, then when did you make the request?

    Several of us have had spurious amounts shown in the 'balance remaining to subscribe in the current tax year' section after transfer, which has sorted itself out after a few days but my account still showed as an ISA Direct Reward 4 straight away.

    Personally, I'd contact them sooner, rather than later regarding the type of ISA shown.

    To be honest it wouldn't have occurred to me to redesignate anything - I applied for the reward account. Why would they set me up with something different?

    Hope it's not wrong... will also have to check O/H's. The halifax banking login causes me to slightly lose the will to live :(
