Cash ISAs: The Best Currently Available List

Yes, it looks very like that's exactly what they have done! After all, Virgin's new 2 and 3 year fixed ISA rates are exactly 0.01% above the respective Coventry 2 and 3 year fixed ISA rates which were available up to and including Tuesday evening. (I know that they were definitely available until then because I was able to open and fund Coventry's 3 year fixed rate ISA on Tuesday evening, only to find that all the Coventry fixed rate ISAs had disappeared from the Moneyfacts' ISA list by the early hours of Wednesday morning.) I don't think that Virgin Money would have known that Coventry had already withdrawn their fixed rate ISAs when they increased the interest rates on their 2 and 3 year fixed ISAs, otherwise surely they would have kept their previous 2 and 3 year fixed ISA rates, at least for the time being.savit4l8er said:

I thought just the same and grabbed them last night but there could be better yet. See what today's events have in store but it might all be priced in for a while now. 😉cricidmuslibale said:

Any chance of someone beating the Virgin 2 year fix or is it better getting that whilst it’s available?savit4l8er said:

I presume that there is the £85k protection in that, when I checked the website it says that there are limitations on what they can do.bristolleedsfan said:

Hard to say, as a overall package it's pretty good. The only thing is, they seem to be falling a bit behind with messags and call wait times can be long but it's not just them. As for the sbiuk, you need to be aware of this.rothers said:
