Recommeded; YBS and Kent Reliance

Amongst all these tales of woe and dropped rates, can I recommend the cash ISAs from Yorkshire Building Society (4.9%) amd Kent Reliance (4.96% Direct ISA). Neither of which have dropped their rates in the current round of cuts.
I transferred my ISA and TOISA to these building societies during 2005 and found the transfer process to be as smooth as silk & CS very good.
No doubt they will both now drop their rates!

I can also recommend YBS (although have no experience of Kent Reliance) - customer service has always been very good, but unfortunatly no branch down here in Cambridge

The Britannia BS act as an agent for the Yorkshire BS and you can apply in branch for any of the YBS accounts etc. There is a Britannia branch in Cambridge according to their site.
I had a Yorkshire 1yr Rollover Bond last year which was available through the Britannia branch here in Norwich.
I agree that the YBS seem to be a very good BS to deal with and they have a good range of accounts and Bonds etc.0 -
I thank you for that info. about the Yorkshire/Britannia tie-up Baldbloke, I wished I'd have known that a couple of hours ago before I did a 20 mile round trip to a Yorkshire agency. Kent have still got an I.S.A. of mine which I transferred a few years ago.
I was a little disappointed some years ago with Yorkshire when I applied for an e-I.S.A. on April the 6th. After 2 weeks of waiting I had received nothing through the post so I gave in and went elsewhere. The reason apparently was due to "unprecedented demand", for god sake what do these people expect at that time of the tax year ?0
