However I have been recommended to take out a Yorkshire building society ISA due to the rate it offers and the terms that suit my needs, but I am a little worried. Are BS’s safe to count on? What are the differences?

Also very interesting: Tax-free national savings & investment accounts? Taxed income from savings? Tax rules for pensions contributions? New pensions & 2006 rules... Do I have to give notice to withdraw from a cash ISA (Halifax)? Can I withdraw from my tax free savings account (CIBC Bank)? Is the tax free savings account RBC offers available as a joint account? Can I have more than one of the tax free savings account TD introduced? Is there such a thing as joint tax free savings at CIBC? Overpaying the tax free savings RBC account: any charges?
