    Virgin Money 1 Year Fixed Rate Cash ISA Exclusive Issue 12 @ 5.05% released.
    This ISA is open to customers with a current account from Virgin Money, Clydesdale Bank or Yorkshire Bank (apart from our Essential Current Account or any account opened with Northern Rock).

    Happy days. The 1 Year Fixed Rate Cash ISA Exclusive Issue 12 is all yours

    We just need you to look over and agree to the legal bits first.

    • I have not subscribed and will not subscribe to another Cash ISA in the same year that I subscribed to this Cash ISA.
    That's rather annoying.

    Guess that’s another one to add to the “won’t let you subscribe to another ISA” list 🙈

    The Daily Mail and moneyfacts are listing a Newcastle B.S. single access ISA at 5%. This interests me, because unlike all the others above it in the rate table (please correct me if wrong):
    1. Electronic transfers
    2. Flexible (just 1 flexible accss is all I need)
    3. Easy Access
    4. Not a brand I distrust (Zopa, Plum, Chip) without real contact numbers for resolving the ISA transfer issues which seem to affect me routinely 

    However, the mail's link takes me through to a landing page without the ISA on it. Might be one to watch today if of interest:

    https://www.newcastle.co.uk/savings/cash-isas

    Sorry to drag up an old post... but this account is indeed now available (in branch only) as I opened one today.

    Strangely there's not even a mention of this account on the Newcastle BS website, but was being advertised in the window of the branch.

    Might be useful to some if you have a Newcastle BS branch nearby. My account was opened instantly with the usual excellent customer service.
    Is this what you're referring to? It's available online

    This Newcastle account doesn't seem very appealing......flexible interest rate meaning it will be going down and only 1 penalty free withdrawl a year......where's the upside ?

    It is flexi, so the 1 withdrawal you can make can go back in again later in the tax year.
  • I suppose the upside is the 5% on offer but aren't we expecting this year to see rates fall ?

    It's flexible, the rate is near the top of the variable tree, and electronic transfers immunise you from the clown show which is Royal Mail. It also has real humans to talk to if ISA transfers go wrong.

    Strangely their reactivation declaration is correct.

    Virgin CS by phone. Agree declaration is wrong and will be changing it ASAP.

    Their T&Cs / KPIs / Summary all seem to be OK too (or at least don't contain any prohibition). It's just that last page of stuff in the application process.
