And AFAIK, six weeks for any transfers in from other providers.

Damn it, I was looking for somewhere to transfer an existing isa to but had neglected issue 14 as I already had a 5.05% ISA with VM and didn't think you could open another one.

The Virgin Money exclusive easy access issue 2, 4.76% has been replaced with issue 3 at 4.51%.

I expect those on issues 1 and 2 will also have the rate reduced although VM will give a minimum of 2 months notice.

I opened my Fixed Rate Cash ISA just in time then over the bank holiday weekend.

I received the welcome letter in the post this morning confirming that my shiny new account, issue 14, has been opened. I need to send the last page of the letter back as they require a sample of my signature.

I also opened the M Plus Current Account at the same time to take advantage of their 10% regular saver, although that will be withdrawn from sale on Friday this week.

Hopefully the requested partial transfer of a Cash ISA from another provider, which I initiated on Sunday, will be processed without a hitch. 🤞

Text from VM 1yr fix ISA issue 14 confirming you can add money until 5pm on 27/09/2024.

If an ISA is opened, partially funded, then closed within the ’cooling off’ period can another ISA be opened in the same financial year? This is further complicated by the fact I’ve now been paid interest (£2.30) for the brief period the ISA existed.

You can open and fund (or not) as many as you like, subject to the rules that individual providers might impose on their account holders.

Its this statement on an application form that prompted the question;

Under UK law, you can only pay into one cash ISA each tax year, either with us or another ISA provider.

Even though the law changed, most providers aren't accepting new ISAs when we've already opened new ones in other places this year. I got caught with it, and after asking several banks/BSs I think it was Skipton BS who did let me open a second "new money" ISA.
