B&B eISA Transfer to Icesave ISA?

TCA

Now that Icesave's Easy Acccess ISA is top of the best buy charts again, I'm looking again at transferring my cash out from my Bradford & Bingley eISA. Previously I was put off by other posts about problems with this particular transfer but wonder if a lot of this was down to timing around the fiscal year end. Has anyone made this transfer successfully (or otherwise)?

Are you on an old B&B eISA account as the current B&B issue is paying 6.25% Fixed Rate compared to Icesave 6.10% Variable Rate? Remember that you can lose up to 30 days interest as they transfer bewtween accounts (not always the case depending on the Bank but worth bearing in mind).

Thanks Nathan but I'm over exposed to B&B (have savings with them too) so would prefer to transfer out. The fixed rate ISA is only good for £3,600 anyway and I have several years' subscriptions sitting with them.

For anyone thinking about transferring to Icesave's Easy Acccess ISA from a Bradford & Bingley eISA, I am happy to confirm that the whole process took just under 2 weeks to transfer two separate ISAs. Not bad at all.

Happy days.
