Apologies if not posted in the appropriate forum.
Is there a Cash ISA for 2024/25 that will accept incoming monthly Direct Debit credited from an external bank current account ?
I believe Nutmeg allows this - just wondered if there were others ?

    I wasn't aware of any savings accounts that took payment by direct debit.  Why not just open a normal cash ISA and pay by standing order?

    I would have thought it was standing order rather than direct debit. Same outcome really.

    I believe Vanguard does this as well.
  • Why not just fund it manually, or use standing order?

    Most will use standing order rather than direct debit.  direct debit is more common with S&S ISAs than cash ISAs.

    I didn't think Nutmeg offered cash ISAs, even their LISA is stocks and shares only
    It's quite common to have DDs on stocks and shares ISAs but I can't think of any cash ones that allow it. As above just use a standing order
  • I need to use DDs to satisfy switching criteria for a new bank account, hence not seeking SOs.
    Nutmeg do Cash ISAs, I was in contact earlier today.

    There's no cash ISA product listed at https://www.nutmeg.com/isas or on their main product menu - do you have a link for the one that they've mentioned?

    Here at Nutmeg, we don’t offer cash ISAs.

  • Indeed - I'll need to review,
    A Stocks and Shares would suit.
    Well spotted.

    Up to you obviously, but I'd suggest that this sounds like the tail wagging the dog if you're considering using a S&S ISA instead of a cash one solely on the basis that doing so fulfils a requirement for an extra direct debit mandate!

    There is a thread somewhere about potential options when seeking extra DDs for the purposes of satisfying such requirements, will have a rummage around for it....

    Credit card DDs? Bills and mobiles?
