Cash ISA Easy access - Does the rate actually increase ?

26 Posts

I'm familiar with fixed rate ISA's but unfamiliar with easy access cash Isa's. I have a strong suspicion that an EA cash ISA that is an 'Issue' ISA, which most of them are, will not see an increase to its rate even though rates are predicted to continue increasing. All EA cash Isa t&c's state the rate may increase or decrease but in practice once an EA Isa is opened I think the rate is likely to be frozen, even though it's not a fixed rate Isa. Has anyone in the last year opened an EA cash Isa, maybe with an 'issue' number, and seen the rate increase in line with the bank rate or has it stayed at the rate it was when first opened? Thanks

Last month VM increased the rate to 1.75% which at the time was higher than most non ISA easy access savings accounts. I moved in the same balance I had in 2020 and as this was a flexible ISA I still have my current year's £20k available.
Curiously the EA was Issue 1 but it has become Issue 2 in the app but remains Issue 1 online.
This (Issue 2) is still available if you have a VM current account.

It hasn't had the latest increase (to 1.9%) applied to it yet though, so I guess there may come a point at which switching becomes necessary. Even so, I'm impressed that they've increased the rate on this account over the 6 months I've had it so far. On a couple of occasions, they actually applied the rate increase to existing issues a number of weeks before the currently available issue, meaning that I had a higher rate for a short while than the account at the top of the easy access account rate table at the time.
Shawbrook have also applied rate increases to their easy access cash ISA (issue 20) this year, but they've fallen behind with this recently.
When I queried this anomaly their response was "We constantly monitor the competitive position of our range and re-assess the rates we offer in line with a number of factors, including external market influences, competitor activity and commercial and operational factors. The rates we offer are competitive in the current market. We will continue to review our position daily and will inform customers if we implement any rate increases." Standard response to such queries.
It is disappointing.
I invested in an Issue 22 variable rate cash ISA at the start of the financial year, went to check the rate on it yesterday and noticed it was the same as when I took it out.
However, Cynergy were advertising cash ISAs at 0.6 percentage points higher than that via Issue 25.
My rate wasn't automatically increased, and I had to apply for the new issue/rate and close the old ISA down via their website. I presume I'll have to carry out the same process if/when a new rate/issue is available! What a faff!
Obviously it's on me to check the rates and terms, but I wonder how many people lose out by mistakenly assuming like me that the rate will increase automatically?
