How to transfer your ISA

What is an ISA transfer?

When you move your savings from one ISA account to another, it's called an ISA transfer. That might mean moving an ISA from one bank or building society to a different one, or just moving your savings from one kind of ISA to another one - say moving savings from a cash ISA to a stocks and shares ISA.

If you want to transfer an ISA, it's really important to go through a proper ISA transfer process. That way, you won't lose out on any of the tax benefits of your ISA account.
