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. Seeing there's only 43 days left until the new tax year 2025-2026 comes into effect, I started looking at all my contributions to the various ISAs I have (or have opened in this tax…

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…

What is best
Hi I have a fixed savings account that has matured today that I want to put in a fixed isa, so at the moment it is in a holding account at 0.10% interest, I know the ISA season is usually around April but I have to move this now, so my dilemma is, which at the moment is the best reliable isa on the market to put say 20,000…

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

Investments and ISA allowances.
We recently downsized allowing me to invest surplus proceeds. We have always held all assets jointly, however my husband has memory problems and I have full Power of Attorney for him. I was advised by the bank that Investments can only be made in one persons name, consequently we are losing my husbands ISA allowance every…

Hi All, My partner and I currently have a LISA with MoneyBox but we are looking to move to Tembo because of their 4.8% Interest rate compared to MoneyBox's 3.5% (Just announced reduction). We have had these accounts for numerous years and have a good £5k in government bonuses + interest accrued. I want to double check that…

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…

Mortgage savings account
Hello all, So I’ve recently had my 1 year fixed term ISA come to an end for my mortgage savings accounts. The interest in that has now dropped to 1.14% this month. It has 12k in it. I am unsure now what to do with this now, Lloyds are offering me 4% on another 1 year fixed term but I know I can get a better offer somewhere…

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…
