    Thanks to all whom have replied. 
    It's really appreciated.

    So to summarize I can split this account in half and transfer each half to two new providers ?
    This can be done as many times a year  (if needed I have another Isa account near the limit) as long as it's transferring existing Isa funds ?

    Thanks




    You can, but what's the point of going to 2 new providers? Just transfer part out, and leave the rest with this one? 
    Rather depends on what rates they might be offering?

    And don’t try to do both xfers at the same time. 
    Ask ISA provider A to xfer £xxx, then once that’s completed, ask provider B to xfer the balance.   

    Sounds like great advice, thanks.

    Because you can get better rates than the current provider. Otherwise your advice is great. Thanks

    From personal experience😉
  • Just to add - check that your current ISA provider allows partial transfers. I tried to transfer a part of my Chip ISA recently and Chip refused saying they only allow transfers of the entire amount.

    I just rang them and they do. Thanks for letting me know of the potential problem.
