Multiple old ISAs - can you combine them into a new one

Options
Hello! Can you open a new cash ISA to transfer multiple old cash ISAs into, and then pay in this year's £20K allowance on top?
Thanks!

    Yes you can
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    Ensure that your new provider's Cash ISA accepts transfers-in first then yes, you can. Be sure to use the new provider's transfer-in process. And don't forget about the £85k FSCS protection limit if you have >£60k in the multiple old Cash ISAs.

    A point to consider when amalgamating ISAs into fixed term ones.  If you may need to access some of the funds say for a new roof or similar then there may be penalties for taking some early.  If you have funds elsewhere to deal with that then no problem.
