is it too late now?
i applied for an e-isa account with shatwest

and it just managed to be opened today
is it worth putting my £3600 now the tax year is gone?

New tax year started 6th April 2009. Your 12 days late to invest in the 08/09 tax year.

However, you have plenty of time to invest in the 09/10 tax year.

Suprised you chose Natwest, Abbey seemed quite competitive last time I looked.

MEH..DAMN YOU SHATWEST

i have them as my main bank, i thought it would be easier for me,
as well as forgotten to check on abbey rates too

NatWest are paying 3.5% on their eISA, which is the best rate I could find which allowed for an existing ISA to be transferred in.

It did however take almost 4 weeks for the ISA to be successfully transferred from ING. My ING account closed two and a half weeks before it apeared in NatWest and I was starting to get a bit worried!

NatWest were a good rate .... but I went with the Barclays Golden ISA at 3.6% - which reminds me I need to bung another £3600 in there now.

Keep an eye on their rates, though. Every year they bring out a great rate ISA and rename it the next year, dropping the original rate. Last year's ISA rate is now 0.81%.
