    Sounds reasonable @daviesr1.
    I always think if a company makes it difficult for you to give them money, how much harder will it be when you want to get it back!

    Coventry Building Society have today released a Six Access ISA (Online)(2), paying a variable interest rate of 4.46% monthly, 4.55% annual (4.55% AER). Up to 6 penalty free withdrawals per annum permitted with further withdrawals subject to a 50 day loss of interest. Withdrawals to be made via a nominated account. This account must be applied for and managed online and/or via the app.

    Coventry BS have also released a Six Access ISA (2) today, paying a notably lower variable interest rate of 3.98% monthly, 4.05% annual (4.05% AER). Again up to 6 penalty free withdrawals per annum are allowed with further withdrawals subject to a 50 day loss of interest. However there is no reference to a nominated account in this case, and this account can also be applied for in person, by post or by telephone. Both of these accounts can be opened with a minimum of £1.

    ETA: Links to these two accounts on Coventry's website to help speed up the application process for anyone interested in applying to either (or both) of them.

    Chip Cash ISA

    Anyone able to explain this or what I maybe miss here. My Chip ISA shows me a rate of 4.58% AER but on moneyfacts I see 4.85%



    Checking on the Chip website, it shows me that new customers get a boosted rate. However, they also show this for existing members but say at the same time it is a tracker with 0.26% below base rate, which is at 4.75%



    Is this a mistake on the website or have they actually tinkered with the rates? I suspect the former.

    I've just opened an account for myself and my wife with Moneybox as we have two ISAs maturing at the end of the month. Their advice was to wait until they've matured before requesting a transfer.

    OK so what am I doing wrong here. If I enter Tembo on https://www.fscs.org.uk/check/check-your-money-is-protected/ all references to Tembo are not protected. If I enter "Nude financial services" as the accounts are trading names of nude financial services, all references are unprotected. If I enter 928010 as their FRN no., no results are found. If I enter 913654, they are again, all unprotected. :#

    Tembo do not hold your funds, from their website:

    "All money in your Cash ISA is held securely with our partner banks Barclays & Bank of Scotland who are covered by the FSCS."

    Does it state how the money is split between the two, ie 50/50 - so that we know about our FSCS protection?  In the way that Trading212 do?

    Hodge Bank fixed rate isa rates have increased slightly since last updated on page 1 but state "You can’t transfer your money from other Cash ISA providers". This may be a new condition as they are listed as accepting transfers in on page 1.

    Since when did Trading212's cash ISA increase to 5.10% AER?    I'm getting 4.90 AER, is there some link to get the 12 months bonus element?
    It hasn't.  5.1% was the old rate, it is now 4.9% as you say
