Do transfers to new ISA’s break the rules if done more than once in a tax year?

I had a maturing ISA in July and transferred the money to a new S&S ISA that I had not previously fed with money. I have another ISA maturing this month. Can I transfer the money in that to another new ISA this year?

    Yes, that's fine.   You can transfer it as often as you like.      The rules only prohibit you to £20,000 new money each year - not exisiting ISA money.

    No problems, there are no restrictions on transferring funds between ISAs.

    When you say ‘transferred’ did you
    a) use your new ISA provider’s transfer process? Or
    b) withdraw the money from the matured ISA & pay it into the new ISA? 

    If it was a) you’re fine
    If it was b) we’ll need more info
