What is an ISA transfer?
Transferring an ISA is where you move your funds from one ISA provider to another, or where you change from one type of ISA to another with the same or different provider. The ISA you're transferring can include both current and previous tax year balances.
If you want to protect your tax-free allowance, your ISA must be transferred correctly to a new provider.
Why would you want to do an ISA transfer?
You might want to transfer an ISA because you're looking for a better interest rate. or because you want to bring all your ISAs together in one place.
