How do I identify my Moneybox ISA (transfer to Virgin)?
As per the title, that's the aim of my game. I just don't know how to identify my ISA with Moneybox for the paper form I've got to fill out since Moneybox wasn't listed on their drop down. I see no sort code & account number that it's requesting. I'm probably being blind, I just find the app poor to navigate. Not Plum poor…

Has anyone Transferred into a Trading 212 Cash ISA recently?
I'm curious because MSE suggests that: "Rate 4.58% - 3.6% variable + 1yr 0.98% bonus - Lower rate on (most) transfers" but Trading 212 does not metion anything, and I've looked through their FAQ: "Can I transfer an existing ISA? You can transfer your ISAs in and out of Trading 212 without any restrictions or fees, although…

FSCS protection limit
Apologies if this is a stupid question but it’s something I thought about today and not sure about the answer! Lets say I had amassed £300k in a stocks & shares ISA over a broad spread of investments with (for example) AJ Bell and AJ Bell go out of business. Am I still only covered up to £120k? I understand that the FSCS…

Should I Transfer Or Withdraw/Deposit? - Cash ISA
This might be a dumb question but I'm not sure on what best to do. I have just over £15k in my Moneybox Cash ISA, currently getting 3.45% interest. I've had this ISA for over a year now and I've not deposited any money in this tax year. I also have an outstanding loan of about £5k which has about 12% interest on so I…

Bed & ISA query
I am struggling to work out whether it is best for me to use the Bed & ISA method to fund my S&S ISA this year, or put £20k directly into the ISA (from money held elsewhere). I bought some shares at 540.50p per share in August 2025. Those shares are now worth 783.21p each. So a gain of 242.71p per share I believe. These…

Is your Personal Savings Allowance adjusted with Salary Sacrifice
I was previously a basic rate tax payer and had of PSA of £1000 and would accrue interest greater than £1000 (outside ISA's) and be eligible for additional taxes. My salary increased to the 40% tax rate so my PSA is now £500. If I salary sacrifice into company pension to get gross pay below higher tax rate, is my PSA…

Index Linked Savings Certificate - renew or not?
I have an Index Linked Savings Certificate that’s due to mature next month (last renewed in 2021). I’m unsure whether to renew it again, especially as you can no longer make withdrawals from it. The index linked return (and minimal interest) earned in 2022 was around 7.03%, 2023 was 10.07%, 2024 was 3.17% and 2025 was…

Cooling off period and other ISA accounts
I opened a cash ISA in this tax year. After reading this forum I decided to close it during the 14 day cancellation period. The money was sent to my linked account (regular bank account). That was the option Investec offered. I then opened an ISA with a different bank. I wanted to check if that is all ok. I.e I can still…

AJ Bell Monthly Fees
I switched my stocks & shares ISA to AJ Bell last month, largely on the basis of what I read on MSE, noting especially (thank-you Benjamin Taylor) that their monthly fees are capped at £3.50. They are not! Fees on FUNDS are charged separately to those on shares and are NOT CAPPED. Could this be made clear for other readers…

ISA opened before end of 25/26 tax year but transfer in, deposit showing as 7/4/26. used up 26/27?
Sorry for the long title, wasn't sure how to word it. Dad opened a Skipton ISA on 19/3/26. Requested transfer in of a Lloyds ISA that didn't mature until 2/4/26. Also funded the Skipton ISA with money from his current account on 3/4/26 (debit card payment i think). He is looking to open a new ISA for 26/27 however, on his…

Can I do this with Trading212 & is there a L-ISA 'cool off' (to get money back)?
TRADING212: OH opened account with them to bag their rate. It since dropped 0.1% it seems. Just went to sort out putting money in today & our (my) fault - there seems to have been some short period of time where you needed to credit the account to get the rate as a notification flashed up for her saying she has 3 days to…

Is This A tax Loophole??
My wife has a cash sum in her SIPP, she has an ISA elsewhere which she cashes in annually, banks the tax free interest and reinvests the capital in a 12 month fixed rate new one. So………….question…….. if she opens a new ISA via her SIPP, can she pocket that sum from her old ISA and reinvest the balance up to her £20k limit.…

42 years with Lloyds and this is how they treat me!
Just feel the need to spout off as cannot share this with my wife. Had a 12 month fixed term ISA with Lloyds which matured on 13 April. Made a genuine mistake in clicking the wrong button to transfer 2 days before it matured, Lloyds deducted £660 from my annual £2,537 interest which they are entitled to do (90 days…

Having second thoughts
A few days ago my husband and I set up Santander fixed ISA for 2, 3 and 5 years. Mainly to take advantage of the e-voucher reward, but also as we are happy to lock away for a while. I am now having second thoughts, as even though the fixed rate is good at 4.5% it would probably work better over 5 years in a S&S ISA, which…
