Transferring Cash ISA from Zopa to Trading212
I opened a new Cash ISA on Trading 212 in April and requested that they transfer my previous Cash ISA from Zopa (which contains about 40K). It's been more than 3 weeks (including a couple of bank holidays to give them their due) and it still hasn't migrated across to T212. Is this normal or are T212 swamped with similar…

Cash ISA transfer - sanity check
I’m having a bit of a ding-dong with YBS over a cash ISA transfer into them. It’s a partial transfer (allowed by the old provider), with the transfer amount being well below the amount accrued from previous years, and well above the amount I deposited this year into the old ISA. I have asked that the transfer should only…

Will my LISA receive Financial Services Protection above £85k
I’m wondering (and I’m a good few years away from being in this situation) but what happens when my LISA reaches £85k+? Will the entire amount be protected under the financial services protection or just the first £85k and therefore is it worth putting money into a second one whilst I’m still young enough to pay into a…

Vanguard compounding vs £85k safety
I have for 5 years used my full £20k ISA allowance which has matured now to about £125k in a couple of Vanguard S&S ISA's. Am now hesitant to add my 25/26 allowance as I'm now getting above the safety net of £85k FSCS. Should I be concerned and start using another institution or should I continue compounding with Vanguard.…

Loanpad drop in interest rates
As a result of the Bank of England reduction, we are announcing a small reduction of 0.1% to our rates with effect from 02 June 2025, as follows: Classic / ISA Classic 5.10% Premium / ISA Premium 6.10% I suppose you could say a .1% reduction as a result of a .25% reduction in BOE base rate is a softening of the blow. There…

Cash ISA
I am so confused about ISA allowances. If I have a non-flexible ISA, with the maximum amount in it, £20,000, and it is earning interest, so the amount in the ISA increases each month, can I withdraw the interest each month, and the original £20,000 allowance remains untouched? Because this doesn't seem to be the case I.e…

I have opened a Nationwide 1 Year Triple Access ISA on 19th May. I was already registered for online banking with Nationwide as I used to be a customer.

Hi, I have got a Flexi 3 Virgin account from last year (24/25). I have not contributed to an Isa this year yet.

Thoughts on Tembo
Was attracted to their rate and possibility of doing an ISA transfer, so opened a Cash ISA and deposited a test £10. 1. The transfer offer was then halted. 2. Tried a test withdrawal to see how fast funds come back, and the only option it gave was withdraw everything and close account. 3. Tried querying this with customer…

virgin 1 yr exclusive flexi
Hi, I have a virgin 1 yr exclusive flexi. It was funded in Feb 2024. So I guessed it has now matured. Virgin has sent me an email saying the interest rate dropped to 4.1% in May. This is still a good rate. Shall I leave the cash in there? Also, this is called a "Flexi" account, what does that mean? MSE says that a flexible…

Starting with Stocks & Shares ISA - which platform?
So I have decided I need to start saving in S&S ISA. I'm happy where I am on the mortgage and my pension so I want to start building S&S ISA. The plan is that it could be used to bridge retiring at 50-55 vs. when I can access my pension in the ideal world. I'm currently late 30s so I have 15+ years of long term growth…

Is transfer a withdrawal?
Hello folks. I have an existing ISA, the balance of which is a bit over the £85K threshold, and I'd like to transfer some of that into a new ISA that I've opened for the 25/26 tax year. The existing account is a fixed rate ISA. Would a partial transfer out be allowed, or would that count as a withdrawal?
