Flexible cash ISAs
I had a flexible cash ISA with Trading 212 that paid 5.17% interest and is now going down to 4.9%. Plum is offering 5.18% interest cash ISAs BUT the rate is much lower if it’s an ISA transfer. Am I correct in understanding that, because the trading 212 ISA is flexible, I would withdraw all the money in that ISA to a…

Move H2BISA to LISA?
I have 10k in an H2BISA though am thinking of moving it to a Lisa. I intend to buy a house with my partner that would probably exceed the ‘outside of London’ 250,000 limit that doesn’t exist with the Lisa. The Lisa limit is therefore better for us. We probably won’t be buying within a year to two years, so I would have…

Problem opening an ISA with Shawbrook when I already have one with them

Using a previous tax year's ISA
