ISA application - credit check?

I want to open a mini cash ISA but am just about to increase my mortgage and therefore don't want a credit check done at the moment. Will I get credit checked on opening an ISA or should I waut till after my re-mortgage is sorted?

    You wont get credit checked. A search may be made to establish your identity, but this will not be seen by lenders or affect your ability to remortgage.
  • Thanks for the reply - I'll put in the application

    experian and equifax operate electronic money laundering check systems. I use the experian one and it registers on your file as an enquiry but not a credit check. It has no impact on your credit position.
