    Thanks for that info, that solves that issue. So it's just a question of whether there's any benefit of keeping the Flexclusive ISA. I can only think of two possible benefits: (a) if they raise the interest rate again (seems extremely unlikely), (b) if they offer a new account that only allows transfers from Flexclusive ISAs (also seems unlikely).

    I thought transfers were still done between providers by cheque

    Not normally - most of them are electronic, and have been for the past 2-3 years.

    Leeds BS now has the best 5 year fix at 3.05%. http://www.leedsbuildingsociety.co.uk/savings/fixed-rate-isa-5-year.html

    The term is slightly over 5 years, but 25% can be accessed without penalty. The Principality 5 year fix is now 2.9%.

    Post Office Premier Cash ISA 1.80%, according to their website, says it's not currently available.

    Seems to be saying that for all their Cash ISAs :(

    Post Office were to send me transfer paperwork on 21 Jan but haven't, so I guess that means I have to choose another.

    Have been really ill again and was about to transfer my wife's NatWest ISA balance to the Post Office.....but it is no longer available!

    I also just had a letter saying my Barclays ISA bonus is stopping soon and had also considered the Post Office!

    Do MSE users think that there will be a rush of offers when the new ISA year starts?

    We would ideally like to transfer existing balances as well as using the 14/15 allowances and the Post Office was not allowing additional payments to be made so we could not transfer now and add the allowances at a later date.

    I am a Selftrade member, so maybe ought to look at what they might offer me?

    Just checked and the cash ISA is not now open to existing members.

    Hi. I hope everyone is having a good weekend.

    I have done some major updates to the first post which I will continue to update this week.

    A lot of rates had changed and there have been some new ISA launches.
    Please call me 'Kazza'.
