Opening more than one ISA in a tax year
Hi all, I've read the new ISA rules for April 24/25 and they're pretty clear. However, the only thing I can't pin down is am I allowed to open more than one ISA in the same tax year? I feel like there were some rules floating around that you could only open one ISA account in a year but I might be getting muddled. I'm only…

Trading 212 easy access ISA 5.2% APY and 1% cashback. Too good to be true?
Hi all, This sounds just too good to be true and I wonder if I have missed anything or if this is just an account that beats all the other market offers at the moment? I am a bit confused... Trading 212 offers an ISA and offers 1% cashback (not counting towards an ISA allowance). The cashback is paid within 3 business days…

Plum...Is it just me ?
Eventually got round to setting up a cash ISA as I realised I was going to end up paying a fair bit of tax on one of my savings accounts which was bringing in over £100 a month in interest. Plum seemed the obvious choice but I just can't believe what a guddle it turned out to be. You have to link a current account etc…

S & S ISA, rules, tax and things
If I have a S&S ISA and grow the value by buying and selling, I don't pay CGT or tax on dividends, ok. Is there a limit on how far the ISA can grow? Suppose I just want to sell the shares and hold the money there as cash? Does that make any difference? If say the original 20k becomes 40k, can I transfer 20k to "somewhere…

PLUM ISA, want Current Acct access too!
I have transferred my full £20K allowance into Plum's high-rate ISA from a matured Santander ISA. Plum insist that they need access to my Current Acct at Santander in order to accept the ISA.

Regular Withdrawals from Stocks ISA
Are there any stocks and shares ISA providers that allow you to withdraw a regular amount? My wife and I need to start living off those investments prior to breaking the seal on our pensions and I'd rather not have to log in each month and do it manually. Our current provider doesn't seem to offer it and an internet search…

I opened a new Bank of Scotland ISA and ticked for monthly interest to go back in to the ISA.
