Advantages: Online ISA that's hassle free with a good interest rate
Disadvantages: It is possible to get a higher rate elsewhere

I don't know anything about their history but the following excerpt is from their website - "The Yorkshire was the first building society to commit itself to remaining a mutual at a time when some of our rivals decided to become banks. In this and many other ways, we have led the way in demonstrating that membership of a mutual building society brings a whole range ...

Goldfish - sinks like a stone
Review of Goldfish Savings Accounts by radamson

Advantages: Was a good interest rate
Disadvantages: No longer in business; online account; bad service generally

I have had a Goldfish savings account for around a year now. Over that time, I’ve put the fact to the back of my mind, the money has just sat there, and I tried to forget about the whole thing – it’s been one of those decisions in life that I don’t exactly regret, but it’s caused me a lot of aggravation.
