When is it to late?

Hi there,
I am with NS&I and i have seen better ISA's out there.

    Thats completely upto you but you will lose interest for 30 days (usually) as thats how long it takes to transfer, so think to yourself, is it worth it or not?

    Don't think you lose 30 days interest, just a few days when the transfer takes place. It can take up to 30 days for the transfer to go through, although I've transferred a few times and has taken around 2 weeks on average. Would guess that it's not a good time to transfer for the next few weeks as it's the 'peak season'...

    Its never too late to transfer an ISA. ;)

    If u transfer to one of these providers u wont lose any interest at all irrespective of when you initiate the transfer ;)

    Nationwide BS, Abbey PLC, Halifax PLC or Saffron BS

    The only time when "30 days interest is lost" is where an existing ISA provider has such a clause within its terms and conditions.
