ISA 2026/27

May sound a bit dim but I've opened an ISA in June 2026 (£20k), will I get the same interest rate until June 2027 or will the new £12k allowance in April 2027 make any difference?

    Is it a Fixed Rate ISA? If so the rate is fixed for the duration of the ISA.

    Next year's funding limit change has no effect whatsoever.

    The £12K is only a limit on new contributions from next tax year, and has no effect on any current ISAs rolling forward, whether they are £20K or £200K .

    Whether you get the same interest rate until June 2027 very much depends on what type of ISA it id. If it's a fixed rate then yes you will but if it's an easy access ISA then it can go up and down depending on the BofE interest rate. Your £12k next year will be the same
