Cash ISAs: The Best Currently Available List

Hopefully after dropping the rate they start to increase them again to match other ISA’s like last time 

With a lot of the easy access cash ISA competition either heading towards (or already in) the 4 to 4.6% region, Plum, Moneybox and Trading212 @ 5%+ are very-much outliers at the moment and, with Trading212's impending drop, I would expect it's more likely that the other two will follow suit.

It strikes me that those three have presumably been offering those high-paying cash ISA accounts as loss-leaders which are designed to steer customers towards their investment products, so whether they maintain those high cash ISA rates will presumably also depend on how successful that strategy has been. Time will tell, I guess.

Just noticed Monument started an ISA at some point recently. Does anyone know if the 25k minimum for the savings includes the ISA?

That would make no sense, as the maximum annual ISA contribution is £20k

And, if I recall, the newly launched ISA doesn't yet permit transfers in. The £25K does apply "across all accounts" so perhaps that's how they enforce the £25K minimum with an ISA.

The 25k minimum is for their savings account, it's 10k for the ISA. 
The terms say 'across all accounts' but that was written long before the ISA existed and has not been changed. 

To BIDBS, could you have 20K in an ISA and 5K in savings to meet the 25k minimum or would it only include savings?

Surely this is the least surprising news of the week. This is a variable rate product with 1-day notice required for a rate reduction.

I agree and probably the first rate drop of many. Market leading rates rarely stay market leading for long.

for Kent Reliance, it states "Currently, you are unable to subscribe with Kent Reliance if you have already subscribed with another provider, unless you are transferring all current year funds to us."

Puzzled why they have such a restrictive condition, or if/how they could enforce it? How would they know? what if for instance, Kent was the first ISA opened, and later on an ISA was opened elsewhere? How could they make you close the second one?
(subject of course to the person staying within the max annual subscription limit).

Is anybody in this position, (for Kent Reliance, or other firms with same T&C), or had a closure enforced upon them or attempted?

curious, I would want to be free to place future deposits in the best easy access cash ISA if better than Kent R, whilst having already put some in a fixed Isa. That just seems natural to me; look for best rate each time making a deposit as money becomes available to save...
