    At least you can get out of a fixed rate ISA early, albeit with a penalty.
    For normal fixed rate accounts you have to die to get the money back early.  :o  
    There are actually a very small number that do allow withdrawals,

    First Direct one year fix you can get out of for a fee of £100.
    Halifax allow withdrawals with a penalty ( similar to an ISA penalty)
    I think my Atom fixed says death or, in very exceptional cases, extreme poverty (if you can prove it beyond doubt!).
