    Well, there you have it. Same as the Limited Access Saver, Monument Bank, have confirmed a rate drop from 4.76% to 4.25% wef from 29 May 2025.
    Of course, this is the problem with a variable rate product. I've got most of my ISA cash in 1-year fixes at around 4.5%. On the remote chance that I'll need the money I'll happily pay the (roughly) 1% penalty.

    Monument must be aware that such a big cut is going to annoy a lot of their customers. Perhaps they're thinking that most will stay at 4.25%.
    With a drop of 0.51% that will be a hard pill to swallow. I’m scrambling my mind trying to ascertain what their method is.

    Use moneyfactscompare.co.uk rather than MSE. Much better, easier to use and more information. Make sure you have accounts listed by rate to get all best rates first

    I have to say I am cross with MSE for its inaccuracy on the main website saying that Cynergy Bank pays a fixed rate of 4.17%. It is in fact a variable rate.

    What I'm after is a fixed rate (hence fixed term) cash ISA that I can transfer previous years ISAs into. Unsurprisingly, the best rate are variable.
    The link on the main site takes me to a Cynergy Bank webpage showing a fixed rate (not variable)?

    I think it has been 4.76 since the end of last year and we've now had 2 rate cuts. They held firm in Feb.

    Email from Trading  212:

    "We're adjusting our base interest rate for GBP (Pound Sterling), effective as of 26 May 2025.
    Your rates will be as follows: Trading 212 Cash ISA: From 4.35% to 4.10%
    Your Cash ISA promotional rate remains unaffected and will continue to be applied on top of the base interest rate.

    Monument will be reducing to 4.25% as of 29 May. It’s still the best for a Flexible ISA. For Non-Flex Tembo are still at 4.80% but are yet to publish any changes to rates from the last BOE rate cut.

    Wrong site, though part of the same group.

    They do have a zero rating, but with 0 reviews, it's a bit harsh to be calling them out on that!
