Trading 212 cash savings in S&S ISA
I have money in both Cash ISA and S&S ISA with Trading 212. I have noticed that I have a cash balance of around £50 from dividends in the S&S ISA which is getting 4.1% interest, better than the 3.85% which the Cash ISA is paying. I have already transferred money from Cash to S&S and invested, but can I transfer to S&S from…

Santander Edge Saver Renewal
My Edge Saver is approaching its 12 month 'maturity' so I asked Santander if I could close it and open a new Edge Saver to retain the initial 12 month bonus rate. They confirmed that this is possible. This seems a little odd, as I had assumed the bonus would only apply to new customers.

Tax-efficient savings: Premium bonds vs gilts
I am conscious this is a bit of an apples-and-oranges question and probably involves some incommensurable value calls, but would still be interested in views - and to see if there's anything I'm missing here. So I'm a higher rate taxpayer, and will certainly blow through the £500 PSA for savings this year. I've maxed out…

Maximum deposit to put in a bank account which will not exceed the £85K
What would be the maximum deposit to put in a bank account which will not exceed the £85K FSCS protection. I was wondering of using Principality BS as an example, their Online Bonus Triple Access (Issue 7) 4.55% (variable) interest pays on 1 January with 3 free access / year. Transfer £85K in there and on 2/1/26 move out…

Dividend Income
A quick, and probably, straight forwards query. For the first time we are going to invest in to a GIA and I'm trying to get my head around whether the income will be interest or dividends. A Money Market fund will be interest, I get that, but what about Bond Funds? Is the income form those classed as interest or dividends?…

Premium Bond - Trying to place a premium bond with the rightful owner
My mum passed away a few years ago and we discovered 5 really old paper premium bonds. We sent them to NS&I and are currently in the process of getting 4 them transferred & registered into my name with my brother's consent. The remaining premium bond NS&I say is registered to another customer so they are not willing to…

Transfer from Tembo (non Flexible ISA) to another provider
Hello, I've put in money for this ISA year to Tembo. If i was to transfer my entire isa balance (which includes previous ISA years) from Tembo, would i still be able to contribute the rest of the balance to aim to hit the 20k limit? First time I've used a non flexible isa, but i guess its what you do when you want to stop…

Metro Bank needing in person ID verification
I opened a Metro Bank savings account last year, to make use of their interest rate. I withdrew some money a few weeks ago as I was making a large purchase, and had to phone them to get to authorise it, which they did. However, I just tried withdrawing some more money this morning, and all attempts in the app and on the…

Hargreaves Lansdown Acceptable Use Policy
Please may I ask for opinions regarding Hargreaves Lansdown new Acceptable Use Policy (bottom right of https://www.hl.co.uk/terms-and-conditions). I think clause 3.1 (especially 3.1.1 & 3.1.3) appear to define 'Acceptable Use' as "anything HL considers acceptable", which I find to be extremely unhelpful. Surely they can do…

Give Your Head a Wobble
I recently tried to set my mum up with a T212 ISA, but she struggled with the ID verification system – specifically the bit where you have to turn your head from side to side in time with a phone camera. We tried and tried, but she just couldn't match the timing. All the previous application steps were thus wasted. Two…

Should an emergency fund be kept in cash or a Short Term Money Market Fund
Hi I currently have an Emergency Fund of 6 months of expenses. Half is in an instant access savings account and half in a cash ISA. Should it be kept in cash or should I consider moving it or half of it into a Short Term Money Market Fund, in order to generate a higher return?

Alternatives to AJ Bell for Funds
At present I am holding quite a lot of cash, via money market fund CSH2 in my SIPP: AJ Bell's SIPP charges for ETFs etc are good, 0.25% capped at £10/mth, but their charges for Funds are uncapped so I am getting monthly bills of £40 or more. I mailed in and told them that they are uncompetitive, and the "Retention" team…

Royal Mail shares letter offering to buy shares but not stating the figures
I keep getting letters from Royal Mail, which I understand they're sending to all shareholders. They're offering to buy my shares but they've not put a single figure in any of the dozens of pages of waffle. How on earth do I work out what their offer is. They're just wasting everyone's time with this endless nonsense…

Loanpad P2P - Reviews, experiences, info or updates, post them here. I'm having a dabble.
Morning all I've seen this name pop up a couple of times in various threads, but can't see that there is a dedicated thread for them. I've had a quick look at their website, and on the face of it, it seems like a pretty good deal, somewhere between cash and a S&S ISA. I realise that capital is at risk, and the interest…

Cahoot
Anyone know why they don't have an app?. Seems nuts to me they don't seeing as Santander do. As with the Santander site the Cahoot one doesn't work properly on my Google Pixel 7 pro phone, frequently have to relogin etc. Don't currently have a working laptop so 😌 Cahoot don't seem to be on social media either 😌

"income" investment funds
A bit of a newbie question, I've been looking for monthly income funds, and am not 100% clear on what I'm reading on fund factsheets for instance Legal & General Active Global High Yield Class I - Income List an annual return of 9.23% over the last year and a yield of 6.9% Does that mean If I held that fund over the last…

Dying / Defensive
1. I've been thinking about dying recently. Almost all of our assets are tied up in ISASIPP/investment/dealing accounts, where the proceeds, if extracted, are withdrawn to a nominated current account. In every case this is our joint account. Is it paranoid to worry about the joint account being frozen for a while in the…
