YBS Loyalty ISA query

I would like to open the YBS Loyalty ISA as i have been a customer for 1 year. My current ISA subscriptions  are in Skipton Tracker ISA (0.9 below Base rate). This only holds this years subscriptions + whatever interest gained. I haven't used all this years allowance yet.
If i transfer the Skipton ISA to YBS i would have to transfer it all, and then it would be closed. I would like to keep it also though?
Can i open YBS without transferring or depositing now and wait until 6 April to deposit?

    When I opened a Christmas RS with YBS (and other non-ISA accounts), the confirmation email said ‘You have 42 days to make your first deposit otherwise your account will close.’. Idk if the same applies to ISAs or not

    Yes - its also 42 days for their loyalty isa.

    So in theory the OP could wait until the new tax year to deposit new funds or do a partial isa transfer.  Pre 6 April any current year ISA funds would need to be moved in full.
