Scottish Widows Investing ?

Isnt SW in itself kinda uncompetitive for ISAs? Seems to be a tiered system starting from 0.35%. I dont know what happens to this when iWeb merges into it though.

SW has a mess of products. iWeb becoming SW is just a rebranding - under the hood it'll still be HSDL - so I wouldn't be surprised if nothing happens to the Isa you mention.

Yes it really doesn't help that something that was a very straight forward suggestion to make like iWeb will be buried deep in the mess of SW products. There should be a national campaign against bad decisions (it seems we've had a lot recently) including a review panel with statutory powers to get them reversed. The country will be a little bit poorer without iWeb's unique branded proposition. The free regular investing should be good but I doubt I would bother with the app. I rarely do apps for investment accounts as I have found they are usually lame and pointless if the web interface renders nicely on mobile.
