What is an ISA transfer?

An ISA transfer allows you to move your ISA from one provider to another without using any of your annual allowance

It’s a great option if you’re paying too much in fees and want to switch to a Stocks and Shares ISA for the chance of better returns. 

Depending on the provider, it should be a straightforward process. It’s easy to transfer an ISA to ii – you can start the transfer when you open a new account or log in and do it at any time.

The best things in life are free trades.

We've sweetened the deal this tax year end: open an ii ISA by 5 April and get £50 worth of free trades. ​

That means we'll cover the first £50 worth of your trading fees when you invest in anything, from Amazon to Zoom.​

Don't miss out - when the tax year ends, so does this offer. ​

New customers only. Capital at risk. Other charges apply. Terms apply.

    What types of ISAs can I transfer?

    You can transfer all types of ISA, including Cash ISAs and Stocks and Shares ISAs. 

    While you can also technically transfer a Lifetime ISA, you will have to pay a 25% government withdrawal charge. 

    Just make sure you let us know when you’re transferring an ISA to ii. It means we can ensure your money keeps its tax-efficient status. 

    If you withdraw and transfer the cash yourself, you'll use up your limited ISA allowance – the online transfer process makes sure this doesn’t happen and you can make the most of your £20,000 allowance. 

    What are the ISA transfer rules?

    The number one rule when transferring an ISA is don’t close your current ISA. If you close your account, you lose the tax-efficient status and it will count towards your annual ISA allowance if you then move it to a different ISA. 

    Instead, let your new provider know that you are transferring an ISA. This allows you to protect your money and keep your allowance intact. 

    We’ve designed our transfer process to be as streamlined as possible – with no charges from our end. You can transfer when opening an ii account or at any time by logging in and letting us know.
