Xmas Saver! I've been Money Tipped!
edited 20 October 2012 at 10:57PM in ISAs & tax-free savings
I have a Santander 3.3% instant access ISA opened on 27/3/12 and 5340 was put in it. It has a bonus on it so the rate will drop on 27/3/13 and I will move to a new ISA

Interest is paid annually so does that mean if I now put in 5640 in it (as this years aallowance) I will receive the interest on 5340 for 7 months and the interest on 10980 for 5 months?

    Interest is always 'calculated' daily, and paid either monthly or annually.
