APS ISA allowance

742 Posts


My husband has recently died, leaving a cash ISA near to the FSCS guarantee limit. In the next few months I shall want to open an additional cash ISA for myself, using the APS allowance.
I understand the process, but am having difficulty finding out which institutions accept APS funds, as not all do. Is there a list anywhere?

Once an ISA has been funded with APS money, there's nothing stopping you from transferring it elsewhere, to any institution, as it would no longer be treated as an 'APS' ISA as such once moved on from where that initial one-off subscription has been done.
As a wider issue, do you need to retain so much money in cash deposit form?
