Transferring an ISA is easy

If you already have a cash or stocks and shares ISA elsewhere, it’s simple to transfer it to a Santander Stocks and Shares ISA. Request your ISA transfer directly using the Investment Hub, as withdrawing money, instead of transferring your ISA means it loses its tax-efficient status.

As with all investments your capital is at risk and you may get back less than you invest. Investments should be held for the medium to long term (5+ years), unless there is a fixed term that applies.

The tax treatment of your investment depends on your individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future.
