Looks like NatWest are first out of the blocks.......2%

"...........NatWest has become the first bank or building society to release the rate it will offer first-time buyers looking to save up a mortgage deposit with a Help to Buy Isa at 2 per cent."

I expect a lot of providers may offer a decent rate.

Mainly because they think if they get the help to buy ISA funds they will get the eventual mortgage too - so its a loss leader with potential profits for 25 years.

It's a bit cheeky to link to your thread on the same topic when this one was posted first!


I'm glad that some more info is finally coming out about the HTB ISA's.

2% is better than I expected. I look forward to hearing what the other banks/BSs have to offer. Though, of course, it's not really the interest I'm interested(!) in, it's the bonus!

Indeed, 2% is much better than thought.

Deposits are so restricted that I'd hope for some decent launch rates. I was particularly pleased to see Newcastle sign up as they've offered competitive regular saver ISAs in the recent past.

I was hoping Newcastle would be offering a decent competitive rate, as I'd rather use a Building society than most of the banks that are offering them.

How come?

Er, I've had fallings out with some of the providers that are offering them, and I've had good customer service with Newcastle in the past, unlike some of the banks offering the Help to Buy ISA.

BBC reporting 4% from Halifax, 2% plus perks from Nationwide and 2% from Natwest.
