    Yes. You can only deposit new money in one ISA during the tax year. You can switch your old ones as many times as you like.

    After 6th April I transferred a previous year's ISA to a Post Office fixed rate without adding new money. That is now locked to any new money - can I open a new ISA with another provider to deposit this year's allowance?
    Yes
    Or there's Ford Money at 1.35% - Ford Money are very good in my experience.  
    Seconded

    And Ford Money's site is reliable and CS polite and knowledgeable - unlike PO's site plagued with technical issues and surly CS who apparently don't give a toss.

    I applied for a Reg Saver with the PO on 2 June, and guess what? Nothings happened! 

    Well, people on this forum have warned the likes of myself of their shoddy customer service.

    I only applied for the Reg Saver as it allows direct debits. Hardly any dosh will be kept in it, so it's no great deal to me. 

    I will post an update, IF and WHEN they decide to contact me.
