Trading 212 Cash ISA FSCS question
I understand that Trading 212 hold clients money in 3 separate banks: Barclays, JP Morgan and NatWest. As it splits your ISA cash between these, does that mean you potentially have greater than £85k of cover by FSCS ? Theoretically up to £255k via the Trading 212 platform ?

Vanguard to Invest Engine ISA transfer
I know there was some bother when Vanguard increased their fees about transferring ISAs out. I’m looking at moving mine to Invest Engine as it seems to suit my needs and 0% fees is obviously attractive.
