Cash ISAs: The Best Currently Available List
Comments

I'm reasonably sure I checked when I transferred to them and think they were. Be surprised if they weren't given how they operate.
It's all a bit of a mess and needs standardising to be honest. A central, publicly available list of scheme members at the very least.
Edit to add: turns out refluxer is right and Moneybox aren't in the scheme, which is slightly surprising. Think I might start the process with Gatehouse then

Yes, showing in the closed accounts section as having been withdrawn yesterday; https://www.coventrybuildingsociety.co.uk/member/savings/closed-accounts.htmlOlinda99 said:have Coventry pulled their 4 access ISA?1 -
Recently transferred money into Virgin Exclusive ISA at 5.85% and opened a Virgin Current account as required. I had planned to use the Virgin Current account for everyday spending as it is both App and online.
Unfortunately I have only now discovered the very high number of negative feedback for Virgin, especially the current account app. Contacting then seems to be a bit of a problem also.
I want to retain the ISA but feel worried about proceeding with the current account.
Does anyone know please if you have to use their current account to continue to qualify for the Exclusive ISA.
Can I just put the debit card in a drawer and forget about it?0 -

I just opened the Exclusive fixed ISA and haven't used the current account for ages (since the time when it beat easy access savings rates.)john1950 said:

The product info says you just "need to have a current account..." (not use it.)

Metro Bank 1 year fix @ 5.71% is still available.
Just opened in branch (open until 6pm).......took half an hour.
Looks like it's the best available at the moment.......I dont consider Virgin worthwhile, to many potential issues.0 -
Metro Bank? ------------- is that the one that nearly went bust the other week?0
