    I'll check it out. Currently won't let me re-register for Moneybox.

    I assume they allow transfers?

    Well, I registered with a different email address, but when it asked me to select an account to open... no Cash ISA.

    I thought maybe it would be available as an existing customer so I opened an easy access account with £1 but... no Cash ISA.

    It is listed in the Key Features document I found and downloaded (along with a few other accounts not visible) - fwiw, it's non-flexible, allows transfers, 3 withdrawals and min £500 before the rate drops.

    Maybe they're still rolling it out.

    Edit to add:



    I did politely suggest that "weeks" was very slow for an app-based product. 

    It is slightly odd isn't it, they launch this great product but as quietly as possible...

  • I requested a transfer from my Santander 18 month fix to my newly opened Shawbrook 1 yr fix on Saturday. I've noticed that I had an e-mail from both Santander and Shawbrook yesterday. Shawbrook's said the transfer won't go ahead due to Santander but the Santander e-mail says they've received the transfer request from Shawbrook and are progressing. Who's telling the truth?

  • Has anyone noticed an open Paragon Double Access Cash ISA change rate? I was on the 4.35% AER (4.27% monthly) one and messaged them when I saw the 4.5% rate that didn’t work to apply online (probably because they had withdrawn it). I haven’t heard back, but the dashboard now says 4.41% gross per year which seems in between? I guess if that was the monthly rate this would correspond to the 4.5% AER.
    Paragon have their Double Access ISA (Issue 1) is available again on their website; paying the same 4.5% AER (annual or monthly options available)

    Just looking at Santander ISA rates, they must be well down the bottom of the list.
    Well 4 from the bottom on Moneyfacts 1yr fix ISA.
    No chance of renewing with them when the time comes.

    Yes, the rates are the same as when they were launched back in March/April this year. The only things that have changed are that the 18 month option has been removed and the £50 e-voucher promotion is no longer running.

    Probably worth noting that it's for Virgin current account holders only :)
