Moving LISA providers

Hi All,

I have a LISA that is changing its interest rate from 1.10% AER  to 0.45% AER on 1st July. Should I consider switching LISA providers?

Many thanks

    No reason not to (Edit - see caveat below posted by Masonic). The 12-month clock does not 'reset' if you switch providers so no real downside.

    Are you planning to make a withdrawal for a house purchase in the near future? That would be a good reason not to consider transferring (since you could be stuck in transfer limbo when you need the money). I can't think of any other reasons not to transfer for a better rate.
