    If you were looking at transferring out, it would make sense to look at one of the higher-paying 1 year rates with another provider (currently around 4.85 to 4.91%) rather than Virgin's 4.61%.
    Virgin have a 1 yr fixed ISA at 5.05% but it requires you to have a current account with them.
    I jumped on their 5.05% 1 year fix a couple of days ago, with an instruction to transfer an existing Virgin 1 year fix when it matures on the 24th August.

    The existing 1 year fix was opened last year without the need to have a Virgin current account.

    But opening a current account with them on Tuesday was straightforward and there are no monthly fees associated with it. Might be handy for future offers as well which require a Virgin current account to access their "exclusive" saving rates.

    Trying to find an ISA home for this year’s allowance, but have I missed all the decent fixed options?

    With the more established intuitions, all the 2/3/4-year options appear to have evaporated.

    Can’t see anything on Virgin, Nationwide or Coventry. Are they just taking a breather before further reductions. 

    After all the BOE has only reduced the rate by .25% , so far.

    Coventry have said they are going to reduce rates but not announced details yet.

    The best I’m coming up with at the moment is; Virgin,1 Year 4.61%; Coventry, 2 Year 4.2%; and Coventry, 3 Year 4.05%. Don’t fancy Close.

    Looking at established providers, in the shorrt term at least, I don’t think I can improve on these

    There are around a dozen ISA providers all paying more than 4.61% for a 1 year cash ISA, including United Trust, Cynergy, Ford Money, Shawbrook, Zopa and even Virgin themselves if you open a current account. They are all well-established and fully FSCS-protected.

    Worth getting a current account for the 5.05% ISA AND the 10% regular saver.

    Beehive Money seem to have decent rates too. I've never had an account with them but look quite tempting at the moment.
