I initially opened an ISA with Cynergy Bank but as part of the account opening, Plum (Plum Fintech Ltd (Saveable Limited - FCA: 739214)), wasn't listed. I contacted Cynergy once the account was open, only to be told they only accept transfers from institutions…

Have finally moved a Cash ISA between NSI and Shawbrook - usual NSI paper method complicating it. Originally the funds were sent early May - but that cheque didn't arrive. The new one arrived a few days ago - so SB said they'll back date interest to then. Do NSI pay interest for the interim period?

Are Flexible ISAs a red flag for HMRC? 🚩🚩🚩🚩
I'm surprised that flexible ISAs for stocks and shares are legal! So if you withdraw finance from your ISA then you can simply top it back up to the limit within a given time period. I've £40,000 worth of company shares acrued in a Save as You Earn Scheme. Now they've matured, the platform handling these shares have…

Do you declare Interest on an ISA as part of Household Income when applying for a grant?
My son is applying for a grant to attend a school in the creative arts field. We have to fill in our income and evidence which will decide how much support we get. Besides the usual P60 and payslips, the form states I need to declare : "Statement of interest earned on savings. Declare all UK and international accounts" No…

How to transfer an ISA from Trading212 to another ISA provider?
I assumed it would be easy but the provider wants a sort code and account to Trading212, they don't use sort codes. So, does that mean I need to transfer it back to my bank account, but doesn't doing this remove the "ISA wrapper"?

How much tax free interest can I earn ?
I am thinking of investing £20k in a 12 month Nationwide bond at 5% so £1000 ! I have maxed out my ISA allowance. I understand that it depends on "income" of less than £17570 ? Does that include PIP ?

FSCS limit and S&S ISAs
I've got a FTSE all-share index tracker over 120k with Octopus Money, previously Virgin, well over the FSCS compensation limit of 85k. Should I transfer half to another provider to bring it back under the limit, or is it not a concern with stocks and shares? If they were to fail would I lose anything above 85k, or would I…

Newbie looking at ISA stocks and Shares
I'm one of the many people who will be affected by the changes of ISA savings amounts for saving in April 2027. I therefore thought I would invest £500 this year as a trial run.

Is it possible to do this or do I need to find another provider?
So seems Trading212 offer the top % for cash ISA. At the end of the last tax year I opened an account & put money in it. This serves a purpose - it's my emergency pot money. Any interest it generates I want staying within that pot. I don't want it mixing with anything. This week I had a long running claim come to an end &…
