What is an ISA allowance?

Your ISA allowance is the maximum amount you can save tax free during the current tax year.  You get a new ISA allowance every year, which is set by the UK Government. The ISA allowance for the current tax year is £20,000.

The tax year runs from 6th April to 5th April. ISA allowances can't be carried over from one tax year to the next, so if you don't pay in your full allowance before 5th April, you'll lose the rest of that years allowance. Anything you save into an ISA after the 5th April will be counted as part of  your ISA allowance for the new tax year.

Transferring from an Existing Cash ISA

An ISA transfer is when you switch your ISA savings to a new provider. You might do this to get a better interest rate, or to take advantage of a different type of ISA altogether. You can transfer an existing ISA elsewhere into your Royal Bank ISA at any time, bringing all your ISAs together in one place.

Full details on how to complete an ISA transfer can be found here.
