Transferring soon to mature Virgin ISA to Moneybox
Just opened a Moneybox ISA and put 20k in. I wanted to set up a transfer of a Virgin ISA maturing on 24 April whilst I was at it but it seems I can't do this until it has matured. I presume the only way to do it is let the Virgin ISA mature into whatever ISA is the default and then set up the transfer?

Is this a no brainer for JISA?
Hi, I currently have my 2 year old's Junior ISA with Vanguard, entirely invested into LifeStrategy 100. I've realised I should switch this to either Fidelity or Hargreaves Lansdown, both of whom don't charge their own service fee (Vanguard 0.15%) and I can continue to hold/buy LS100. The fee is negligible enough for now…

Cash ISA - S&S ISA
When transferring cash ISA(s) after their term has ended (no / low interest) to fund a S&S ISA with a different provider , is there a way to minimise the lost of interest, as it will take 4 - 6 weeks for the transfer to complete ?

Are T212/other 'Third Party' Cash ISA's watertight?
I have read previous threads on this, but still have a question. So, T212 itself is not FSCS regulated, but your cash ISA is held with banks like Barclays etc which are regulated and any funds held with T212 are held in a separate segregated client account. I'm comfortable that if Barclays, JP Morgan et al were to go bust,…

Cash ISA easy access - can I leave last years savings in?
Hi all. Perhaps an obvious answer to some, but I want to check. I have £9.5k in last years ISA which I've left it there. Now we've rolling into the new tax year and the £20k allowances has reset.

Just opened a Tembo cash ISA. I’ve fill my allowance for 25/26 but it says that transfer in from other providers is closed at the moment as it’s a busy time of year. Anyone have an idea/any experience of when it is likely to open to transfers again?

Partial Transfers between ISA's from same provider
Hi folks - finding this a bit frustrating. I had an easy access Skipton ISA. 2 days ago I went to open a 1 year fixed rate ISA with Skipton. The idea was I'd leave some of the money that I'd need for home improvements that are on the horizon in the easy access and some that I wouldn't need for a while in the 1 year fixed.…

Disappearing balance when using Post Office ISA holding account
Yesterday I applied for the "big name" Post Office ISA (4.4%) that I saw on MSE. I was surprised to discover that it uses a holding account and the whole product seems to be operated by a third party called One Family. As a precaution, I only paid in the minimum £100 deposit with my debit card. The holding account has a…

Hi, back in November 2025, I opened a Trading 212 cash ISA with £20,000. It's my first cash ISA; I've always just had easy-access accounts and fixed-rate accounts. Can someone please tell me what to do with cash ISAs now it's the new tax year? Do I open a new ISA with £20,000?

Previous tax year's ISAs
If one has several cash ISAs subscribed in previous tax year's and they get transferred more than once, it becomes difficult to know/remember which tax year they were opened. The metadata for an ISA presumably gets passed to a new provider. How can one get that information,?
