    No, but you can transfer from some into a S&S ISA. I guess you could then sell them all and move it to a cash ISA or keep as cash in the S&S ISA.
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    You could sell come shares, where the gain is under the CGT allowance, and put the amount in to the cash ISA.  Maybe you can keep the remainder of the shares in the sharedealing account and sell more shares next financial year.

    Have you been made redundant or retired?  I think different rules might apply if that's the case.  I know there was something special if I wanted to transfer mine within 3 months of the maturity date or something.

    What did you google and what was the response? If it was Google's AI's response, it can (and does) get things completely wrong. I've found its "understanding" (yes, I know it doesn't understand anything it outputs) of financial matters can be particularly lax.

    Are the shares worth more than £3K. Do you have any CGT allowance remaining for this tax year?
