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…

Can you open more than 1 cash ISA in the same tax year?
In Feb 2024, I transferred full amount from an instant cash isa into a new 1 year fixed cash isa. In April 2024 (so in a new financial year), I open a new instant cash isa. So far so good (i hope). This month (Feb 2025) my 1 year fixed isa that I transferred into last Feb matured, and was automatically transferred into a…

Don't quite max out your ISA?
I'm regretting maxing out my ISA allowance this year with a non-flexible account because it's preventing me opening and funding better deals which have become available. In future I'm planning to leave a few £ spare so I can open better accounts then add more funds when the new financial year starts. Does this make sense?

Funds what to do
I have around 30 funds in S&S ISA on the Aegon platform. I was going to start DIY, either by asking the new platform to sell my funds and transfer them out as CASH ISA (so to reduce the fund management fees while I think what I funds to invest in) or transfer all to the new platform then decide what to do. I think if I…

S&S ISA transfer HL to Iweb - cash left behind
I filled in the transfer form on Iweb and as far as I can recall didn't select anything other than transfer everything, current year, previous years. Stupidly I didn't screenshot the form as I assumed it would be saved somewhere, but apparently that's not the case. So the transfer went through, but the cash balance remains…

Can I simply withdraw from my Cash ISA and deposit the money into my Stocks & Shares ISA?
I have a Trading 212 cash ISA with £18,000. I also have a Vanguard stocks and shares ISA with £2,000. Both in the current tax year. They both style themselves as flexible ISAs. If I withdraw from one, the ISA allowances increases accordingly. I think I have too much in cash, as I don't need it for anything urgent. Any…

Process of transferring from S&S ISA to cash ISA
As the title says, I am going to transfer my holdings from an S&S ISA to a cash one. I understand from the literature that this can take up to a month. My question is about whether I should convert my S&S into cash (within the ISA wrapper) first or whether this is best done at some later point in the process (with this…

Is there a way to find out if I have already taken out an ISA this tax year using my allowance
I appreciate this may sound like a daft question but I can't honestly remember if I took out an ISA this year or simply moved across previous years ISAs onto better rates with different providers. Is there any easy way of identifying whether I have used my allowance this year (maybe via national insurance number?). If not…
