Trading 212 ISA account being terminated
3 years ago I opened up a cash ISA with trading 212 as the interest rates seemed to be the best around at that time and continue to be good. I have been happily paying into this every year and was horrified to have received an email to say my account is being terminated in 30 days. I don't have any other accounts with…

2026/2027 transferring a cash ISA from Trading 212 to another provider
Hi all. I'm looking for a cash ISA provider that will accept transfers of an existing ISA from Trading 212.

bonus rate treatment of ISA interest transfers
An ISA provider has advised me that, when transferring out an ISA, the interest earned is not allocated to any specific tax year. I have an ISA with £20k contributions in each of the 25/26 and current tax years. In 2025/26 it earned £800 interest. If rates stay the same I expect around £1800 this tax year. When the bonus…

I believe the default option is another 1 year fixed rate ISA at Coventry, which I do NOT want. Unless they have something better on offer for maturity than their…

ISA partial transfer?
I have an ISA with trading 212, opened in Feb 2026 into which I transferred all my savings from Moneybox, which included the 20000 paid in from 25/26 allowance. Stupidly I didn’t realise that only the 20000 would get the promo rate of 4.4% and the rest is only getting 3.6%. Is it possible to only transfer the balance on…

Transferring ISA form CHIP tp VIDA
Just tried to transfer an ISA from Chip to VIDA but ViDA does not accept even though it allowed me to choose Chip as my current provider from the dropdown. It did not tell me how to go forward with this. Has anyone else had problems like this? Are there any providers who accept Chip without any issues?
