Santander 2 year Fixed ISA

flergalwit

I have a 2 year fixed rate ISA with Santander, due to finish I think just before June 2017. I am thinking of closing my Santander 123 current account due to the new £5 per month charge. Does anyone know if the latter will affect the former? I needed to have the 123 current account to be eligible to open the ISA, but it's not clear whether I can close the current account without affecting the ISA, given the latter is already open. Thanks.

You need to check your T&Cs, or confirm with Santander.

I think they might say that to be eligible for the higher interest rate, you must be a 123 World or a Santander Select customer at point of opening your ISA. If they say nothing about losing eligibility at a later stage, your ISA will remain eligible.

But I am not paying your interest, so please don't rely on my opinion.
