S&S isa … am confused
I have a £20k cash isa with Trading212. Another £20k with virgin money. I doubt either are paying much interest. I’ve started an AJ Bell S&S Isa this tax year. I would like to transfer some of my cash isa to a S&S one. Looking quickly at T212, it says it pays 4.05% on S&S isa. Why does it mention an interest rate if it’s…
