    You cant transfer them to ISAs. You have to surrender them, wait for the funds and then pay them into the ISA using your £7200 allowance up.

    There may well be a surrender penalty.

    £7200 is the annual allowance. It doesnt matter if its monthly or single contributions or a mixture. You cannot exceed the annual allowance (note if you are over 50, there is an ISA allowance increase in October this year).

    So would the best way be that myself and my wife open two separate ISA`s and in one deposit the max of £7200 and the other £5800 of which we can make monthly deposits ??

    That would work
