    Does anyone know the funding window for Lloyds or Shawbrook, or are they truly indefinite so far?

    So I've got my "your fixed ISA is maturing soon" email from Virgin. Here are the choices .



    As I want an easy access cash ISA, and they don't have one at the moment (apart one for current account holders only), bless them they are doing me a favour by allowing me to take advantage of one that is not available @ 0.10 % AER. While I am flattered to be so special I do want to transfer. My question is do I have to wait for the maturity date to transfer, and hence loose money, or is there some rule/law that allows me to transfer now.



    How come they don't mention this? I notice it's not on the list on p.1 either

    Received my Saffron Regular Saver ISA details in the post today, sent first class on Monday.

    There's a passbook once again and a three digit reference that didn't seem to refer to anything obvious - I wonder if they have a target number as they have said that the account can be pulled before 24th April, and are literally counting them out.

    The rates for certain types of ISA account have changed a lot in the last few weeks, so it's likely that the list on page 1 of this thread has gotten out of date.

    I think that particular account might be very new and may have only been launched as recently as yesterday or today, which would explain why it wasn't mentioned in the maturity options quoted above. It was paying 5.06% prior to this and was withdrawn at some point before being relaunched at this new rate.

    The options still do not include this one.

    I guess it's possible that the maturity options are set at the time they're provided and their IT systems can't cope with any rate changes or new accounts becoming available after that.

    That's not to say that you can't apply for the account if you want it though, presumably. It may just not be possible to do it via their usual maturity instruction submission procedure and might require a phone call or temporary relocation to the other easy access ISA account that was offered.

    Tried to open this account but on registration (Im new to West Brom) says I'm only allowed to pay into one Cash ISA a year and because I said I already have they want me to transfer my other one over. Are they just a bit behind in updating their website?

    Probably they are. The other downside for me is that it's not flexi, so if you want to take money out but retain it within the ISA system you need to do a transfer.
