    Looks like Monument are accepting applications again, though as already mentioned on here it is 4.25%.

    Wonder what Tembo will do. Probably watching to see what everyone else is doing. It's a shame some are going down more than base rate reduction.

    Looking at this thread and the MSE ISA page, I'm not a huge fan of the boosted rate ISAs for such short amounts of time, they mean potential continuous transfers. I hope it doesn't become the wider norm as it's just buying the top of the league tables.
     Next it will be 10% for 2 weeks.

    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.

    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.
