    Is there a reason the earlier post about the 5% Vanquis fixed rate ISA got removed ? - I got a notification about it but then it has disappeared from this thread.

    Having been nonplus about the three month bonus rates up to now, currently having my emergency fund/easy access money with ZOPA at 4.5% 

    I have decided today to move this 20k ish to CHIP for their 5.9% bonus rate for three months and I’ll see what’s what mid July and decide what to do with my money then 

    All was very easy to open the CHIP ISA and add bonus and initiate the transfer

    This bit puts me off.  I am inferring it cannot guarantee 4.5%

    What is the product?

    This is a 1 Year Fixed Term Woodland Cash ISA (previously named 'Green Cash ISA'), operated under Shariah principles. This means that interest cannot be earned, but we generate profit instead.

    What does this mean for my money?

    The profit we share is the expected profit rate at the time you open your account. We monitor your account on a daily basis to ensure the expected profit rate will be achieved. If we believe the expected profit rate will not be achieved, we will contact you giving you notice of the new expected profit rate.

    Standard clause for sharia account so profit not interest. Still unlikely not to meet stated rate.

    I went for a lower rate in the end at 4.25% with Nationwide.  I bank with them daily, have a savings account with them, and so it will all be in one place.

    Difference on interest at 4.25% and 4.5% is only around £100 over the 12 months.
