Although Northern Rock allow transfers in from past years ISAs from other providers to their fixed rate ISA (issue 127), do they also allow transfers out to another provider if a more competitive one comes along?

Quote from Northern Rock web-site

"Strictly no withdrawals or early closure permitted during the fixed rate period"
At the end of the fixed rate period you need to give 30 days notice to transfer out

According to their website, issue 127 (3,5% fixed for a year) has now been pulled. Shortest offer in living memory????

I should have referred to Northern Rock Issue 127 Fixed Rate ISA in my previous post. Sorry!!!

I don't know, how long was it on offer?

It'd be hard to beat the recent MMBS Christmas Bond, which was available for not much more than 24 hours!

I have an ISA with Skipton which ends on the 14th Dec (was 6.5%), they are now offering me a 3.2% 1yr and a 3.8% 2 yr deal, both have access for a 90day interest penalty.

The Bradford and Bingley one Martin mentions in the article has no access at all and is a lower rate.

I'm opting for the 3.8% 2 yr deal at Skipton.

I'm tempted by the 4year fixed 4.25% intrest -anything better for a long term cash isa with large deposit?

Hi all

My parents want to open a cash ISA with a high street bank/building society with branch access rather than have a postal or online acount. Does anyone know what the best deal is with your typical high street bank or building society? They would like to tie in the money for one year max, no longer, and have the full £5,100 to invest in one go.

Any advice appreciated!

Possibly Abbey at 3% is the best High Street 1yr fix at the moment.

That account is online and phone only, not branch based, so doesn't meet the requirements.

It's also a variable rate, not fixed.

And requires £9k to get 3%
