    Yep, just got the letter through this morning.

    Rather disappointed ... will likewise be doing my research in late Oct.

    Edit: just had a quick look at the current rates elsewhere on the Sticky thread. Even after the top rate is dropped by 1/3 from 3% to 2%, it's still higher than many other flat rate ISAs elsewhere.

    This lower-than inflation lark is really, really depressing.

    Agreed, very depressing. Anything slightly better is still peanuts. At least the FD ISA credits the interest monthly. Will be even more depressing when we see the drop in the return.

    2.5% at Yorkshire/Clydesdale, although I will be reviewing around 1st Oct.
