Can I leave some of my shares with my current ISA and pay into the new ISA while I'm in the process of transferring?

Question by Edward

I have a large Stocks and Shares ISA with Fidelity, I'm looking to move some or all of it to another provider. Can I leave some or all of it with Fidelity and pay into the new provider while I'm in the process of transferring?

Hi Edward,

The only rule is that you cannot contribute to more than one ISA provider in any one tax year, so provided you haven't contributed to Fidelity in this tax year, then yes you could transfer to another provider and contribute to them too.

Hope this helps

When I got my first job in the 90’s, my father said ‘you should go to see my financial adviser’ (I didn't even know he had one!). I dutifully went to see him and was converted by the common sense advice I was given on saving and investing for my future. I liked it so much I joined the company so I could help other people learn how to invest. I now run a company that's passionate about providing value for money advice on a whole range of areas.
