    Principality Easy access ISA now 3.75%. Noteworthy that the two best buy easy access ISAs now (Principality and VM) are both Flexible ISAs.

    Can anyone recommend a Cash ISA that pays monthly interest that will beat Shawbrook at 3.49%? they seem to have slowed up raising rates and I want to transfer out...

    Why do you want monthly interest and is that paid into the account or paid away ?

    The best Easy Access Cash ISAs (without withdrawal restrictions) are Virgin (if you're already a member), Gatehouse*, Leeds and the Principality @ 3.75% but they all pay interest annually or on maturity.

    The current best Easy Access Cash ISA which pays monthly interest looks to be Charter @ 3.65% AER which, at 3.59% gross monthly, is obviously only slightly higher than you're getting now. (£20 PA difference on a £20k ISA). It has a £5k minimum balance and isn't flexible. 

    * Edit - looks like Gatehouse do actually have a monthly interest easy access option @ 3.75% AER.

    No particular reason just prefer to see interest monthly rather than yearly, i see Gatehouse is offering 3.75% per month, not sure if its flexible or not, has anyone got money with them as they are Sharia law?

    Ah, my mistake - I didn't see the 'other options' drop-down box on moneyfacts which opens up the monthly option for Gatehouse. I don't personally have any sharia accounts, but many here do and without issues.

    Gone for it, transferred out, might go for one of their Easy Access savings too as they are 3.90% now

    Have had a number of Sharia based accounts with no problems at all in relation to that. Have had issues with Al Rayan but nothing to do with it being Sharia. Have a lot of time for Gatehouse Bank who I have always found to be superb and would highly recommend them
