A question about : Top Junior ISAs guide: discussion

It is not true that those born between 1 Sep 2002 and 2 Jan 2011 are ineligible for JISAs. They are only ineligible if they have a CTF. The article seems to incorrectly assume that all born between those years qualified for a CTF and had one opened.

The article also makes it more complicated than it needs to be - there's a simple rule: children who don't have a CTF.

Those ineligible for a CTF were most likely not UK residents at the time.

A question about : Barclays Golden ISA feedback

Hi folks,

Barclays has just launched its new Golden ISA, paying 3.61% AER with a 1% bonus, and has been added to the Top Cash ISAs article.

However, previous incarnations of this in 2007 and 2008 came packaged with nightmarish customer service issues; so much so that we originally intended to warn people against the account if it re-emerged this year.

A question about : Barclays Tax Haven ISA: Have you opened one?

What's this about?

The Barclays Tax Haven ISA has been our top pick Cash ISA since the end of February, paying 6.5% AER (including a 1% bonus for twelve months). It's about to drop to 6.27%, but remains the highest payer around.

Barclays set a 14 day timescale for opening these accounts, and if it takes long than this, any interest will be backdated to the 14 day point once the account is fully open.
