Bank Accounts Latest News Lloyds TSB launches cash ISA commitments Lloyds TSB launches cash ISA commitments
A lender has introduced a range of commitments on its ISA deals.
Anyone seeking to take advantage of the best ISA rates on offer in the UK may be interested in a new charter of pledges in the sector being implemented by Lloyds TSB.The major financier has announced that as of today (February 14th 2011), its new Cash ISA Commitments will apply to all such products, which have been designed to offer customers "clarity and reassurance" when taking out a Lloyds TSB ISA package.
For example, the lender has issued a guarantee that when they transfer funds over from another provider, they will receive the bonus of interest payments from the day Lloyds is handed their completed application document.
In addition, the financier has also created two new cash ISA deals to complement its commitments, including a two-year 3.15 per cent fixed rate deal.
Meanwhile, Alan Easter of Willis Owen recently urged consumers to make sure they take out an ISA following the Bank of England's decision to maintain the base rate.
