Is Now the Time for Savers to Check Last Year’s ISA’s?

As the end of the tax year approaches, savers are being tempted with rates over 3% on new cash ISA’s but be aware because you could be earning as little as 0.05% on money you already have in these accounts.
It seems normal practice for banks to offer reasonably attractive initial rates on cash ISA’s, only to drop them dramatically after a year. For example, last March, Halifax Cash ISA Direct reward went on sale paying 2.6%, now savers will see this drop to 0.5%. This is a similar story for those who opened a Santander Flexible Isa at 3.5%, which has now dropped to 0.5% after 12 months.
This is a similar story with lots of other high street lenders including C&G, Lloyds and HSBC.
