What is an ISA transfer?

An ISA transfer lets you move your ISA from one provider to another without using more of your ISA allowance

You can also choose to keep your existing investments when you transfer. 

You may want to transfer if:

  • You are paying too much in fees elsewhere.
  • You have other investments with ii – it’s free to add an ISA to your account.
  • You have a Cash ISA and want to switch to a Stocks and Shares ISA for the chance of better returns.

It’s easy to transfer ISAs to ii. You can start your transfer(s) when you open a new ISA, or you can log in and do it any time. 

Make sure you use our online transfer process. If you sell and repurchase ISA investments yourself, the repurchase will use some of your annual ISA allowance.

Useful information about your transfer

Important information: If you want to trade while your transfer is in progress, most providers will be able to facilitate this as long as your investments aren’t in the process of being re-registered. You should contact your current provider to place your trade(s). Don’t forget to keep both them and us updated on the changes to the investments in your account. Please be aware that there may still be a period of time in which you are unable to trade your investments. Certain investments, such as international shares, may be unavailable for a prolonged period of time. We will not be liable to you for any loss or expense you suffer as a result of being unable to sell any investments that are in the process of being transferred or if you choose not to trade while your transfer is in flight. The value of investments, and any income from them, can fall as well as rise so you could get back less than you invest. If you are unsure about the suitability of a particular investment or whether transferring your assets is the right course of action you should speak to suitably qualified financial adviser.
