    Paragon have increased the rate of their 1 year fix to 4.50%, which takes them within a whisker of the current top rate (4.52%)

    I had fixed at 4.4% on 24 May, but just contacted them by phone to 'cancel' because I am within the 14 day 'cooling off period'.  They will still pay me the interest (4.4%) since 24 May but will now transfer the ISA to a new one-year fix at 4.5%.

    Hard to know when to fully commit to a fix when the rates keep edging up higher bit by bit.

    West Brom BS 4.6% 5 year ISA - quite a big increase over the previous 5 year leader (UBL at 4.35%).

    According to moneyfacts a 4.6% 5Y fixed ISA will be launched by West Brom BS. Moneyfacts often shows savings accounts before they're launched so this will probably appear on the West Brom BS website later today.

    I am on my third Virgin 3 year fix.  They offer a generous 30 day funding window and have twice raised the rates during that period - so I just open a new one and wait for nearer the 30 days to fund it.  I suspect I will be opening a 4th.

    You're right - new fixes today from Virgin.  4.56%/4.66%/4.7% for 1/2/3 years respectively.

    I opened the 3yr account @ 3.52% 5days ago. I have already sent off a transfer from by post to switch my ISA from Vanguard. What is the best solution to get this better account @ 4.70%? I am still within the cooling off period.

    1. Open a new one myself & initiate the transfer to the new account once the other transfer is complete. This will only work if the initial transfer completes within the 30 day funding window. Also will lose interest earned during transfer process by this method.
    2. Open a new one myself & call them to amend my transfer from Vanguard to the new ISA instead. 
    3. Message through Online Banking and ask to transfer me to this new account keeping the same A/C number. I've already done this but i'm worried they may take a while and product could be withdrawn. 
    Any recommendations?
