Not sure what to do!

I've got around £67K in a First DIrect ISA paying 1.5% and I've got another around £11K in other savings (I don't pay tax). I was thinking of opening a Coventry fixed rate at 2.1% for the £11k. I know I dont want to have the full £85 allowance in one place so putting the extra cash into the Coventry seems to be the best way to go as I don't need access to it. However, £5K of the extra cash is in First Direct current account at the moment and the other £6K is in my Nationwide savings account.

Has anyone opened a Coventry account and put money in from two sources and had it all go smoothly, I had hassles moving ISAs in the past and don't want any when transferring money from one savings account (non ISA) to another.
