Charter bank isa transfer help .

sidneyyoungblood

A bit of advice please.

I have some funds in a Charter cash isa which I am looking to move to either my trading 212 cash ISA  account account or Iweb ..

Eventually the funds would be moved into a  s&s isa , which would be the easiest to transfer to - moving into a cash isa (trading ) or into Iweb  ?


Also a concern is if moved to Trading 212 it would take me over the fscs limit ,  as I have funds in both my Natwest / Ulstar bank as  I think they are part of the same financial institution - does this mean I am not covered if they go under.



thanks

If the money is intended for a S&S ISA then I can't see any value in routing it via a middleman.

Trading212 isn't part of the same group as those, but may use them for some or all for any given cash ISA.

Trading 212 spreads your money around several banks - you can see how much of your money they hold with each, and mine is currently showing Natwest at 44.23%, with Barclays the second highest at 37.28%. You should take into consideration whether it would take your total with Natwest to over £85,000. You would still be covered, but only guaranteed to get back up to £85,000. It's unlikely that they will go under, but it's up to you to weigh up the risks.
