    If you 'don't want to go chasing different rates' you can probably carry on paying into your existing Barclays ISA from 6th April.

    However, you'll be doing yourself no favours at all and the interest rate you'll get will be tiny :(

    You'll have to read Barclays T&C for your particular ISA, but I'm prepared to bet that it will have had a bonus which runs out after a year ;).

    The OH has had successive Barclays ISAs and each year the bonus drops away.

    If you want to move to their new offering you will need to get them to move it to retain your previous entitlement.

    If you were happy with Barclays, why did you start this thread?

    I know you said you don't want to go chasing different rates - - but this is MSE, and may be a look at post 1 in this thread will be an eye-opener https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/401374
