Can I Open Another ISA Account?

139 Posts


Appreciate any info on the following scenario:
My fixed term ISA recently matured. I opted to open a new fixed term ISA account with the same provider. My balance (including interest) was paid into this account. I have a few more days to add to the new account if I so wish.
Assuming I haven’t added anything extra to my new fixed term ISA (or made any other ISA contributions this year), can I open a new cash ISA with a different provider and fund it immediately?
I’m unsure if I would be paying into two different accounts in the same year.

My plan was to open a new cash ISA with a new provider and pay in £10000. I would then open a new Santander ISA (to benefit from their new offer) and transfer the £10000. A quick Google suggests this isn’t possible (unless there is a distinction between ‘opening’ and ‘funding’ a new isa).
Be aware though that once your new ISA has been transferred to the Santander Fixed Term one, you have only got a very small window to maximise your 2022-23 ISA contribution to a cash ISA.
