    DF Capital 1 year fixed up to 5.15% (issue 12). 

    I sent them a secure message to request, and they quickly opened one for me, with fund plus interests fully transferred from my 1 year fixed 4.99% (issue 11) with them, which is still within its 14 days cooling off period, to that new account.

    I like DF Capital, they are very helpful and flexible. I've had several accounts I have opened and not funded having 14 days to do so and DF have closed and reopened these accounts due to increases in rates without asking them.
    I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
    The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
    There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
    I listen all night for your step on the stair.

    I didn't think you can possibly do this :(  My issue 11 cooling off period expired today.  I thought of closing and opening issue 12, but then decided to stay with it because the amount I put in this account is small and not worth an effort to act on 0.16% uplift. But thanks for this tip, next time I will know that DF is that flexible.

    I think i was just outside the cooling off but i cheekily sent a very polite request to change mine to the issue 12 and they very kindly have. which was very nice of them.

    How long have you got to fund it after taking one out?

    Just had an email from Oxbury, 1 and 2 year fixed rate 5.31%, for existing customers.  I have money maturing next week, so will go for the 2 year rate I think.
