ISA Transfer query

Options
I have an ISA coming to full term on , for example, 31st October this year with Bank A.

If I have already used this year's allowance with Bank B, am I free to transfer Bank A's ISA balance to Bank C-Z (or even B)?

Basically, can you just open an ISA with a new provider ONLY with a balance from another provider?

TIA

    It's "old money" and not related to this years allowance, so you can do what you like with it.

    Yes - although you open it empty first and then send in the transfer form.

    Yes, If banks B-Z will accept incoming transfers. Some do, some don't.

    Some providers will allow you to open an ISA with a transfer and no new money.
