Online Cash ISA to transfer funds into?

Hi,

I have had a Barclays Mini cash ISA for years and only just realised that their rate of interest is pretty poor. I am therefore looking for a new provider, one that I can transfer the funds into (ruling out this websites best rate ISA) and one I can access online (ruling out the second suggest ISA on this site). Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

    Except it doesn't offer online access which is what the OP wants.

    I would have suggested Abbey but after my attempts to transfer to them took around 3 months and was still unresolved so I cancelled the transfer.

    Yourkshire BS perhaps the next best.

    I use YBS for the same reasons - they are not the best interest, but close

    i have one with YBS as it looked the best trade off between rate and access.

    It is not all properly set up yet as they are messing around with the ID i sent them, as i didnt put the persons address for the ID verification. Other than that it seems a decent one to go with. Just a shame they havent announced interest rate increases like everyone else!
