I wanted to know whether I can withdraw from a fixed rate cash ISA? Rates just seem to be way too low and I am not getting much from it, so I am hoping to invest the money elsewhere. Is this possible?

Well although it is possible to withdraw money from a fixed rate cash ISA, I would not suggest it. Buy withdrawing from a cash isa you end up losing all the tax benefits. The way I would do it is orgnaise a transfer, that way you can find a better rate and you don’t lose the benefits. Also if you have a fixed rate cash isa from the previous tax year you are able to split the funds and put them in to different accounts.
