    Not very inspiring are they ?


    Comparing the ISA accounts... I think the term "loyalty" should be replaced by "muggins rate for long term supporters" :)

    While I agree that the majority of their rates are poor - in terms of other 'loyalty' products, their current 1 and 2 year Fixed Rate ISAs (for members with existing, maturing or matured Fixed Rate ISAs only) are currently 4 and 4.5% respectively which makes them the best 1 and 2 year fixed rate ISAs currently available and this has been the case for the last month or so, so fair play to them for that at least !
  • I don't believe it's out of altruism, more so they had to do it to prevent £ millions escaping.  As it happens, it couldn't have come at a better time for those with maturing accounts, especially if you caught it at the back end or you were within the 14 day period at that point. I think anyone who stayed with them at the above rates should feel pretty good. They have been receiving a good rate term for term and the others deals have not caught up. To have potentially done better, there will need to be reasonable increase in savings rates and who knows if that will happen now?
    Yeah, cheers but nah, I will stick with yes,  thank you and no. 

    Thank you.

    Nationwide are offering fixed-rate roll-overs of their maturing ISAs at 4% for 1 year, 4.5% for two years
    ... their current 1 and 2 year Fixed Rate ISAs (for members with existing, maturing or matured Fixed Rate ISAs only) are currently 4 and 4.5% ...
    One hell of an echo 'round here  :)

    4.65% on 2/3/5 year fixed ISAs from State Bank of India: https://sbiuk.statebank/cash-isa-fixed-deposit-account

    Edit: Just looked a bit further into the account opening process.  Moneyfacts says they can be opened online/in post/in person, but SBoI's website says an application form has to be downloaded and then taken into branch (can't even be posted!).  So possibly not that great unless you live near one of their branches.

    It's also a bit cynical of Marcus, they know rates are going up this week...

    Saga and Marcus are the same thing. Saga is just a rebadged version.
