Heard about it in the branch today. Due to launch Monday I believe. Fixed rate. Limited subscription for a few weeks - not likely to last too long with a rate like that. 90 day interest penalty (I think they said - not sure though) and can only add to it while subscription is open. A good one to go for if you have £3000 to put in there straight away and leave it there I think.
Skipton seem to be having some cracking deals with the Easter Bond (now closed) . The spring bond, the new Isa etc.

Even better if you put the maximum amount in, £3600.

Ditto for me.

There's still no information on the B&B website about their ISA account with a one year fix at 6.25%.

Do you know whether there's a charge for transferring the ISA to another provider after the one year fix period is up?

Thanks.

emc,

it's definitely on the B&B website:

Thank Liz,

The link to the new account is on the home page! (I should have gone to Specsavers.)

After the 1 year fix period, the ISA reverts to an ISA Easy Saver, which I believe has no restrictions or costs on transferring to another provider.
