    Oak North bouncing back with a 1 year fix at 4.45% 

    Fingers crossed for a little boost in rates before the end of the tax year.
    I've had an email to say there will be a boost for customers keeping their ISAs with OakNorth, but I don't know the specifics.

    Oak North 1Y is now up to 4.47% we have a tiny bit of competition it seems. 
  • Tembo's Cash ISA is increasing to 4.8% from today:

    "We've got good news! From today (11th March 2025), we're increasing the rate on your Cash ISA to 4.8% AER (variable)."

    Good news indeed but probably just until 20th of March when probably the BOE will lower rates again (which I think would be wrong) so people jump on it now to make the move and end up in a short while with 4.55% when it goes down 0.25% again.

    Principality BS Online Bonus 5 Access Cash ISA Issue 4
    4.70%


    Will be 4.5% in a mere 3 days time!

    OOPS, didnt realise that......thanks
    Principality seem to have a habit of not advising people that a rate is lowering if you apply for the account after they've sent out notices that they're lowering the rate 
    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?

    Zopa Smart ISA - now top of the table at Moneyfacts.

    "We're offering new Smart ISA customers a 3-month fixed bonus rate of 1.21% AER* on top of the underlying 3.80% AER* (3.73% gross**) variable Access ISA pot rate.

    This means you'll earn a total of 5.01% AER* (4.89% gross**) variable on Access ISA pots for 3 months from the date you open a Smart ISA."

    https://www.zopa.com/smart-isa



    Not really competitive because the underlying rate is probably going down in a few days after an expected BOE rate reduction. Assuming a cut of 0.25% the new rate would be 4.76% for the remainder of those 3 months with a sharp cliff edge after. Unless someone is prepared to transfer again within a short while this doesn't look like a very attractive offer. If providers involved not backdate interest the loss through moving could actually be higher than leaving funds in a lower paying account. 

    P.S. Trading212 also slightly increased their rate to 4.81% (4.76% previously) to appear above the 4.8% of Tembo
