Closing an ISA account

Have got an ISA with HSBC, it has a balance of zero (for the last two years). Have got money now that I want to put in an ISA but do not want it with HSBC, Can i simply close this account and start with a new provider without tax penalty etc etc? may sound a strange question as the account has been zero for years but would like to check. cheers

Yep. If you've not funded the account in this tax year you can open another ISA. You don't even need to close that one, but it makes sense to do so.0
