Adding irregular sums during the year with a flexible ISA?
Do all Flexible ISAs allow you to ADD money (without withdrawing) during the financial year, or do the rules vary by ISA provider or product ? E.g. £1,000 in month 1, £4,000 in month 3, £15,000 in month 11 (totalling up to £20K)? I'm unlikely to need to withdraw during the year but I don't have anywhere near £20K to start…

I'm looking to stick £20k in a cash ISA and see that among the top picks on MSE are Moneybox, Chip and Zopa, none of whom are names with which I'm familiar. Does anyone know if these three are authorised by either the FCA or FSCS (or whoever)? Thanks for any assistance/info.

ISA withdrawals, which financial year's ISA is it taken from?
My partner and I each have ISAs, now with 3 years of savings in them, so going back to the tax year 2022/23. This has never happened to us before! Unfortunately we will probably need to withdraw most of the money next year, as we'll be buying a house. I don't know if this is a silly question, but when you request the…

I like to get paid interest on the 1st of the month to better manage my finances, and this means I need to open an account on the 1st of the month.

Selecting provider for 25/25 tax year cash ISA
