    Looks like VM fixed rates ISA Exclusive has been upped to issue 11.  Maturing 31.3.25 and still 5.25%

    I've had a message to say last deposits to the issue 10 are by 30.3.24

    I don't think that's a typo from Chip, they have changed the tracking rate as it definitely was 0.6 before. It has gone from garbage to great but the speed of the change suggests they could change it back to garbage again on a whim.

    Hopefully this will stay open until past 5 April so next years allowance can go in.  They'd have to give notice of it going off sale (hence the 30 day countdown starting) in next few days .otherwise.

    Issue 11 only has to remain on offer until 7th March, in which case the last date of funding would be 6th April, allowing for next year's allowance to be deposited.

    Issue 11 was available yesterday, which means Issue 10 has been given at least an extra day's funding (31 instead of 30).

    My fix with Virgin matures on the 31st, funding allowed until the 30th. Guess I have to open issue 11 now and let issue 10 lapse

    Is that a problem? There are options you can use to extend the 'funding' period in Iss10 but not sure you'd gain anything over Iss11?

    Yes, on line. I opened one a few months ago, all done online. They were very speedy and transfer in was quick.

    Thanks.I was also wondering how the 60 day notice works if i were to transfer out in the future.?
    Some providers require the funds to be available inside 30 days or Virgin fixed  was 6 weeks. Maybe this is only applicable transferring to fixed rate isas though. 
    Dont think i ever had a notice isa before.

    To make a transfer out you have to give notice to WestBrom and they give you a date when funds can be moved without penalty. It will say to your nominated account. You then request a transfer to your new ISA for that date. WestBrom then automatically amend the withdrawal to go to your new ISA rather than nominated account. However be careful as some ISA transfers have to happen within a set period of time, or be requested within a set period of time, or can only be requested at account opening. You just have to be careful and read terms in detail
