    Can I transfer funds from a foreign bank account into a UK ISA?

    Question by Louise

    Can I transfer funds from a foreign bank account using a money transfer app into a UK ISA, once living back in the UK?

    Hi Louise,

    You can transfer the money into a UK bank account and then use it to open a UK ISA, but wouldn't be able to transfer straight into an ISA.

    Kind Regards
    Stacy
