Fixed ISA with 30 day payment window, can I?

I want to open up a Fixed ISA (3 years), and its one of these ones with a 30 day window to add funds, and then that is it.

If I open it just before the end of the tax year, and pay in the full £20,000, can I then in the new tax year, pay in another £20,000.

Obviously it would all be within the 30 day payment window, but I am not sure if they would block it.

Its an ISA that accepts transfers as well, and its the Virgin Money one I saw initially.

    Sounds reasonable - have you tried asking them?
  • What, you mean actually waste time on the phone to customer services, no thanks LOL.

    Its not a massive issue, I will probably just open one and give it a go. If they don't allow me to do it, I will just open up a new one next year.

    Maybe open one up, make your contribution for this year then send them a secure message to confirm your next year contribution will be ok. Then you will have a reply in writing.
