Holding 2 ISA accounts in one tax year?

I have an ISA with a bank and wish to transfer the whole of the money into a higher rate one but with still the same bank. Also I'd like to open another ISA, with a separate bank, and deposit the full quota of £3,600 into that. Is that ok, possible?

    Yes - hopefully your exisitng Bank will provide a smooth transfer from one of their products to another.

    A transfer (or reinvestment) doesn't could twoards your yearly allowance for new money to be invested.

    Don't forget your allowance for the 2010/2011 Tax year and any new ISA you open is £5,100 and not £3,600

    Thanks. But I thought the cash isa allowance was £3,600?

    No, its very definitely £5100 since October for the over 50s and
    April (now) for everyone else.
