The Great Cash ISA Market Split, Current Top Accounts

Personal_Finance / ISA's May 01, 2012 - 06:34 AM GMT

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThere was a time when you didn’t have to struggle with the concept of cash ISAs. They are tax-free and all you need to look for is the best rate. However, new parameters are being quietly set which mean that in future we will all need to delve deeper than just rate alone.  

Sylvia Waycot, spokesperson for Moneyfacts.co.uk, said:

“This ISA season Moneyfacts has seen a growing trend of ISAs launched which refuse to accept transfers in.


“Many people have ISAs going back several years and they will naturally want to ensure that the whole of their ISA pot gets the best return. 

“That will not be as easy under this new trend as many of the ISAs refusing transfers in are best buys. Taking one of these accounts means splitting your ISA pot into at least two accounts, potentially with two providers paying two different rates.       

“Providers say they can only offer headline rates if they set a limit on how much money they can accept and that limit will be reached too quickly and by too few people if they open the doors to transfers in.      

“Top five tips for getting the best from ISAs are:

  • Research the best rate and check that you are happy with how the account operates.
  • Record all details of bonuses and ‘go to’ rates; this is especially important if you have to manage new and existing ISA accounts.
  • Before transferring ISAs check there are no penalty notice periods that need to be avoided.
  • Remember that ISA providers should transfer your account within 15 days of application.
  •  ISAs for the forthcoming tax year start to be launched in February each year, so set a diary note to start your hunt at the same time.”
