    I've trotted this one out before, but if you are driving on a road with a 30 mph speed limit, you are not entitled to do 60 mph for a half hour journey and say you were only doing half the advertised rate.
     :D:D:D

    Makes sense to me as I'm a mathematician, but will probably go over a lot of people's heads

    Struggling with this, wasted hours.  I know about Shawbrook as I have one about to mature but the new rate is only 4.02%     There is another one, can't remember the name but not suitable coz they won't let you have current year isa's with other banks as well and I have a few this year.

    Any suggestions?  Need to decide quickly.   A few of them say that you can do further deposits over the year but when you check in detail they mean only for the first 30 days.
    I opened a Suffolk FR ISA earlier this tax year .  Allows deposits until 5th April 26. Though the rates they are now offering have dropped.  I got in at 4.17% for a 2year.  Can hold current year deposits with other banks too.

    Probably worth noting that most ( all?) of these accounts mentioned will normally only accept transfers in at the beginning /first 30 days, even though they will accept new money contributions during the fixed term period.

    Putting money into an investment on a monthly basis "typically" yields around half of the advertised rate.    
    All accounts pay the advertised rate.
    Thanks
    It had already been pointed out 
    Poor choice of words by me
    Never mind, such is life

    Progressive had a 2year deal paying 4.3% which would allow transfers in and further cash deposits to end of tax year

    I think with Progressive what put me off was I had to send photographic  ID and proof of address by post (if you couldn't visit a branch) which had to be certified which would have cost quite a bit to do thus negating the higher interest rate. This requirement even for existing members.
