Chip Bonus Code
An article in the Daily Mail says that you can get 5.03% with a 0.71% bonus, if you use the code ISABOOST. I've tried inputting the code into my existing Chip ISA but it will not accept it. Am I right in thinking the bonus is only available to new ISAs, even though the Mail article makes no mention of that?.

Flexible ISA mess - caught out by new rules
I think I've fallen foul of the change in the rules around flexible ISAs, which I've only just found out about. At the start of the tax year the guideline was that any current year contributions could be withdrawn from a flexible ISA and replaced into any other ISA the same tax year without affecting your limit. So…

Compararison for Flexible Cash ISA
Is there anywhere I can see rates of flexible isa cash isas across providers ? Ideally I'd prefer to go with provider I'm already banking with for simplicity of management. I'll be using the flexibility so the best rate is not actually a concern. Can't seem to find anywhere that let's me filter cash isa providers to only…

Tracking your 20k annual allowance across multiple ISAs
Hi all :) Being able to open multiple ISAs in one tax year, I was wondering how people are tracking their 20k allowance within that tax year.

What is a SIPP administrator?
I have used the interactive brokers paper trading account (and API) for the last few years and I enjoy it - it is working out quite well. Albeit I take more risks with it being a paper trading account. However, I discovered recently that interactive brokers do not offer ISAs in the live trading account, but do offer…

Can Reeves decide to tax an existing ISA
I've just read that Labour may be lowering the cash ISA allowance to £4,000. I know its only rumour/hearsay at present, but given the raids everywhere else, its a very strong possibility. Could they go after existing ISAs as well? I've got a decent amount in a self select S&S ISA - So thought I'd ask. Thanks all

Don't quite max out your ISA?
I've been frustrated recently that because I've maxed out my ISA allowance with a non-flexible account I can't open and fund new better deals that become available during the financial year, yet may only be available to open for a limited period. Does it make sense to leave yourself just a few pounds short of the maximum…

ISA - April 2025
Hello all, apologies in advance for what is probably quite a basic question. I have invested in a few ISAs for both my parents and myself, but what happens post April 2025? Do I now need to change accounts cos the rate will cease in my current ones? or can i can continue? All accounts were opened around 2-3 months ago.…

Best ISA's for opening as POA?
Any recent positive experiences out there of opening Cash ISA's as Power of Attorney to invest on behalf of Donor? I went through the proces about a year ago and it was quite painful. Some of the companies offering the best rates, usually online or app based, did not entertain POA accounts and others had long-winded…
