Best Rate Cash ISA that allows transfers in

ED

lisyloo - Thanks for the idea. I'll be amongst those exploring the Ruffler website...

Thanks for all the replies. The Abbey one does seem to be the best best but unfortunately I only have £8,000 to transfer so I wouldn't qualify for the 5.75% rate and I don't want to open a new one with Abbey for this year as I want to take advantage of the Barclays Tax beater one instead.

I think I'll wait till the May rate rise and see how things pan out after that.

I was looking at the Barclays Tax Beater but have you seen the thread of unhappy people who have tried opening one etc.

Just a word of warning.

Hi,

I have just tried ringing Abbey and the line cuts off after I select ISA's (option 2).

I wasn't expecting to setup the account today just ask a few questions about the transfer process.

Other providers' answer the phone!

Has anyone done a transfers of previous years over the phone (or via Internet)? How does the YBS or Kent Reliance work?

I am looking for a replacement for the A&L Direct ISA 2 (which will end being at the competive 5.70% at the end of April) for all my ISA money and appreciate your comments above.

When you open the account you fill in a transfer form and they do the rest (unless its A&L who wont do anything with the Abbey form because you have to speak to them directly for some reason).
