Can I open new ISA this tax yr?
Hi. I have deposited £5940 in my Barclays Cash ISA which dropped to 1.49% AER this tax year. However I have found a Cash ISA with another provider which has a better interest rate - Tesco Cash ISA at 1.65% AER. Despite having deposited the £5940 this tax year, can I still open the Tesco Cash ISA which accepts transfers in?…

Transfer to S&S ISA - best strategy?
I have £60k in a Cash ISA which I was keeping in cash for a reason that no longer exists. I now want to invest it for better returns (expected investment period is 8-15 years), but I don't know how best to get from A to B. I've had a look at a few guides, but it's all either so vague that it's not helpful or really…

ISA: Timings of Deposits in Tax Year
Hello. I hope this post finds you well. Does it matter when during the tax year you deposit money into a Fixed Cash NISA in order to get 1 years worth of interest? I recall putting money in a Fixed Cash ISA many years ago a few days before the tax year ended, and I think I got interest paid on that for 1 year as if it were…

charges - simply?
I am looking to drip feed £200 a month into a stock and shares ISA to invest in three funds and leave £50 a month to build to invest in shares that I pick. I am looking at the platform to use to do this. iweb charges £5 for buying and selling funds - so am I right in assuming that this would cost me £15 a month (buying 3 x…

Two ISA's with Nationwide?
ISA newbie here.. I seem to recall reading on the MSE only a few days ago that it's possible to setup two ISA's in the same financial year with Nationwide - and be able to pay into both. (One other bank also offers this service, but I can't remember the name) The yearly ISA limit would be split over the two accounts? I…

Withdrawing from ISAs - Best way?
Hi! Soon my OH and I are going to have little income coming in until I find work. We have a primary aged child. The only way to manage our outgoings will be to access my savings all of which are in ISAs. I have two cash isa's with instant access and a S&S isa.

Virgin eISA rate dropping, any alternative?
Good afternoon, I've just had an email from Virgin Money saying that the interest rate on their eISA Issue 5 is soon to drop from 1.75% to 1.5%. Is there anything that can beat that at the moment that accepts transfers and isn't tied to a current account? I'd like to keep it tax free really, rather than sticking it in a…

Have I broken the ISA golden rule by transferring out ?
Following researching on this site as to what to do now that my 2 Santander ISA's had reverted back to basic standard ones paying a measly 0.5-1.0%, I used my online account management to transfer the full amounts to my 123 current account on which I get 3%. Further research then showed up the golden rule of never…

Student Loan/Grant "Loophole"?
Hi I think I have found a good way to save money for my children but wondered if anyone could shoot me down before I do this. I have been saving in ISAs for years and have a tidy sum put away.

S&S ISA - is this ok?
If I open a low-charge self-select S&S ISA in this 14/15 FY (SS-ISA-2) purely in order to transfer in content of an old high-charge self-select S&S ISA from years past (SS-ISA-1), do I remain free to invest new 14/15 cash into another S&S ISA (SS-ISA-3) during remainder of 14/15? I would be investing no new 14/15 money…

Where to transfer an old ISA - help please
Hi all, I've been reading threads over and over to try and get the best answer to this question but I can't make up my mind!

Hii guys Any advice would be very much appreciated :D I currently have 50k+ in an ISA with First Direct which is receiving 2% interest.

Will the real NISA please step forward...
Seen whilst out driving through the Hampshire countryside today Gideon exposed! I suspected all the time his NISAs were simply ISAs with better rules. But how wrong I was, seems he actually means we all should buy shares in Volvo trucks that are some sort of Coop on wheels. Politicians!!!!
