Leeds BS ISA Any good??

RonantheBarbarian

Looks an interesting one, inflation (RPI) +2.5%

so currently is 6.7%

Obviously will go up and down with inflation but what do you think.

Has any1 tried it? It does take transfers.

I have one. They set it up reasonably quickly.

Is it any good? I'll tell you in two years time.

That's interesting, do they accept transfers in, I have a large chunk wasting away in a poor performing HSBC cash ISA...

See HERE:

"Transfers in: To transfer an existing ISA from another ISA provider, simply complete the ISA transfer application form and we'll do the rest. **

** Please note: HM Revenue & Customs guidelines state that the ISA provider has up to 30 days to complete the transfer.

Not quite right

Guaranteed to track Bank of England Base Rate until 31/07/2008 (currently 5.00%) From 01/08/08 the interest rate will be equivalent to the % change in RPI between 30/04/08 and 30/04/09 plus a bonus of 2.50% tax-free
From 01/08/09 until maturity (31/07/2010) the interest rate will be equivalent to the % change in RPI between 30/04/09 and 30/04/10 plus a bonus of 2.50% tax-free
