    Great video, thank you for sharing. I've just put some new money in to an existing S&s ISA. I have an older S&S ISA which i wish to transfer to a cheaper broker. With the new rules, can i transfer the old S&S ISA to a new broker (new S&S ISA)? Im thinking yes, but can only add new money to the S&S ISA i have already started to pay in to. Can i also choose to transfer stocks from my old S&S ISA in to a new S&S ISA? The rules are confusing and my old S&S ISA has both stocks and funds.

    Hi,i have a fixed rate isa with virgin money,i also have an instant saver/bond with virgin which is due too mature,my question is when the bond matures could i transfer part of the money into the isa ? Also the isa is a 2 year fixed which matures in November,am i allowed to transfer it into a 1 year fixed also with virgin even though the 2 year one hasn’t matured yet ? Hope all this makes sense,kind regards paul.

    Silly question: If you transfer money from a matured isa from a previous tax yr into your current isa do you earn interest on the full balance or only the money you’ve invested in this tax yr? Presumably the ideal is to invest up to the yearly allowance then once it s matured and your in a new tax yr transfer it all to a new product and repeat?

    Anyone know what will happen in my situation: Paid £20k into a Stocks & Shares ISA this tax year, then done a partial £4,000 transfer into a Lifetime ISA with the same provider. I was under the impression that if I didn't use the LISAs £4k allowance I would lose it and I wanted to guarantee the 25% bonus. The ISA provider now thinks I've overpaid £4k over the 20k allowance. Will I not be eligible to receive the 25% bonus? Or will HMRC tax the interest earned from the 'overpayment' within the LISA?

    I have a fixed cash ISA that matures in August 24. I want to open a new cash ISA on April 6th and start to put money in it and then come August 24 transfer in the old ISA into the new one I’ve created. Is this possible ie open a new cash isa but transfer in old isa much later in the year? Or can I only transfer an old isa at the time of creating the new isa?

    Multi accounts of the same type. Which previously wasn't allowed. It gives you more flexibility but it makes it more of a pain to track your allowance because the deposit amounts are not shared between providers

    It seema that a lot of these banks don't understand the rules, when i opened a new isa with one provider and asked for a partial transfer of old monies, they ended up transferring it all and closing my old isa account. When I aked my old provider to accept a partial transfer back of only old monies they refused because I had made contributions to the new isa and said this would mean I had opened more than one new isa in the tax year. even though I was not transferring the new mony.

    The isa transfer form had boxes for either a full or partial transfer and I was very specific about the amount of old monies to be partiallly transferred they had no probem acccepting my instructions. They failed to carry out these and ended up closing my old isa account by transferring the entire amount. We are currently trying to have this problem rectified.@@markwaudby

    I’ve got an isa that will mature on 5th April for £20k. I’ve also got another £20k in cash ready to put into a new isa. Can I transfer original isa to a better paying provider and at the same time open a new isa with the £20k cash with a different provider. Or can I open a new isa with new cash then transfer the old isa into it making it £40k.

    I'll be honest I'm hesitant to use any sort of isa transfer function.. The idea of my money being stuck in limbo for up to 15 days or possibly more doesn't agree with me and if you look hard enough you can see people have had issues with these transfers before.

    My husband retired last year and he gave me the maximum £20,000 to put in an ISA in my name as he had already opened one that he couldn’t add in to. This was in August 2023, will I have to transfer into another ISA before 6 April 2024 or will it stay in the original ISA until August 2024, sorry it may seem a silly question but we have never had an ISA before last year and it is confusing.

    You can keep the money in that ISA for as long as you like, when the new financial year begins on April 6th you will then be able to contribute new money up to the £20,000 limit into the same ISA and so on year after year.

    If its in a fixed rate ISA there would be a penalty for moving it before maturity but there's no reason to keep it with them if rates are better elsewhere at that point. In April you can open a separate new one wherever you like.

    Sometimes on stocks too. I know that stocks with trading 212 have some deal with chase because that's where the money is deposited. If you have seen the 5.2 pc on t212, that's not protected by fcsc because it's in money market funds. But if its in normal stocks then it is protected. It's all a bit confusing. You have to often read the t and cs for your provider. Probably vanguard supports fcsc as well but not sure.
