Should I keep ISA with Nationwide?

Hi, I'm a bit confused :confused: and hope someone can help

Husband and I currently have about 10K each in instant access ISAs with Nationwide. When I've checked the interest rates it is only 5.15% for the amounts we have. But I have read on this forum about fixed rate ISA with NW for over 6%.

Should I keep my ISA with NW - do they have different rates for new customers?

Is it worth transferring the money to another bank / BS?

Thanks ;)

    I am in a similar position with NW, my money is in the members bond ISA at a slightly higher rate (5.3%) and have decided to transfer mine into the fixed rate ISA bond paying 6.15%.
    They do not have different rates for old and new customers as far as I can see.
