I have had my money in an ISA for the past 5 years and I have realised that I haven’t been taking advantage of the market and have just been letting my money sit in an account and rot. I need to do something. A friend of mine told me that she transferred her previous ISA over to a new one in order to take advantage of new rates. How is this possible? I thought you could only open one ISA a year, how can you transfer a previous ISA to a new one without it using up your contribution allowance? Also if I wanted to transfer to Nationwide, could someone possible tell me how Nationwide ISA interest rates are doing at the moment.

So let me get this straight, you want to transfer over to Nationwide without even knowing their rates. Why? The reason you said you want to transfer your money is to stop it from rotting away, but if that is the case you should do some research and then pick the best rate not just go for one branch/building society and then decide on which one.
Also very interesting:
  • Which ISAs & savings accounts are crisis-resistant?
  • Why are two figures shown for AER interest rate?
  • Regulations surrounding National Savings’ cash ISA, can I have two?
  • Can I transfer my National Savings’ ISA?
  • How is the interest on my National Savings’ ISA (Direct) calculated?
  • What happens if I go below the ISA Direct Reward (Halifax) minimum balance?
  • What to invest in: ISA/Fixed rate bonds?
  • Can the ISA Helpline help me?
  • Help with ISA rates @ Abbey!
  • Why are ISA rates @ Barclays so low?

    Yes you can transfer your previous ISAs and open a new one all in the same year. The transfer doesn’t count as a new ISA so you are fine.
