I have the Coventry Limited Access at 5.05% which is holding some funds, and the balance of a maturing fix currently with Paragon at 4.95% (after transferring the rest to a Close Brothers fix at 5.05%). I'm still going to move both to the Skipton as it guarantees me 4.75% until Oct'25. Rates will go down this year and whilst it looks like I'm foregoing up to 0.3% now, I figure that between now and Oct'25, overall I will be better off. It's really about whether you value long-term certainty or short-term returns.

I set up a 1 year Shawbrook ISA (4.76%) last month to transfer in my balance from my 1 year Santander ISA (4.15%) maturing on 1.5.24.
Today i got a message from Shawbrook telling me that their request had been accepted by Santander and that the transfer should take place within the next 15 working days! My thoughts are: why on earth should it take this long, what rate of interest am I to be paid during this period and by whom? Is this normal?
It seems that the money is still in my Santander account but the rate has changed to1.2%. It is also shown as 1.2% in their list of no longer available accounts, which is rather worrying as I'm not sure whether I have any confirmation from Santander of the original rate of 4.15%.
Can anyone shed any light on this for me please? Thanks.

15 days is the time allowed by the regulations for transfers of ISAs. That's why they quote that period. But it's likely it will happen in a day or two between Santander and Shawbrook.1 -

Can anyone shed any light on this for me please? Thanks.15 days is the upper limit for how long an ISA transfer should take and is a throwback to the days when these things were done by post. Nowadays most providers, including Santander and Shawbrook, can do a transfer electronically so it shouldn't take anything like 15 days. A bit of admin is involved for both sender and receiver so the transfer won't be instant but it'll probably be done by the end of the week.I imagine the 1.2% is the interest rate now that your Santander ISA has matured.1 -
Hi

Is it a fixed rate ISA that hasn't matured? If it's easy access then that timescale is ridiculous.
