Applied for Fixed Cash ISA yesterday, can I close (without depositing) and open another cash?

6 Posts

Decided to apply for a Virgin Money 1 Year Fixed ISA last night, but sods law this morning there's been a bit of a jump and it's no longer the leading interest rate.
I know the rules are that you can only open one cash ISA per financial year - but I was wondering about the technicalities of what is considered an opened ISA? If I don't deposit any money and close the account, can I then apply for another cash ISA this year?
I'm guessing not... but throwing it out there in case someone out there knows otherwise.
Thanks in advance.

So you can actually open and move the 'old' money about as many times as you like (whilst accepting interest penalties)? That's really good to know, especially with interest rates likely to keep increasing in the immediate future.
Cheers again for the help!
