I’ve found all my involvement with Hargreaves Lansdown to be superb. I actually think the whole platform works exceptionally well and I frankly wouldn’t hesitate in recommending the company to anybody.MR HASTINGS, Devon
Which ISAs can I transfer?
You can transfer Cash ISAs and Stocks and Shares ISAs to us.
Transferring doesn't count towards your ISA allowance.
It's free to transfer an ISA to us
Your current provider may charge exit fees though, so it’s worth checking with them first - we wouldn’t want you to lose money.
Also, if you’re transferring a fixed rate cash ISA, remember that if you leave before the end of the term, you may have to pay a fee.
Transfer an ISA to HL and get between £20 and £500 cashback
Transfer an ISA worth £5,000 or more to HL and we’ll give you between £20 - £500. The money is a thank you from us, it won’t come out of your account or investments.
The more you transfer, the more you receive. Terms apply.
To automatically qualify, you must apply by 15 January 2020. Need more time to decide? Let us know and we’ll give you up to an extra three months.
You’ll receive your cashback after the offer closes and all transfers have completed. The money will be paid into your loyalty bonus account. To keep the cashback, all we ask is that you keep your account with us for a year.

How to transfer
Transferring a Cash ISA
If you've got enough saved for a rainy day and are thinking about investing, it could be sensible to transfer a Cash ISA to a Stocks and Shares ISA.
Interest rates on Cash ISAs have been low for years, but with a Stocks and Shares ISA you have the opportunity to grow your money over the long term. Just remember, unlike cash, investments can fall as well as rise so you could lose money.

ISA transfer rules
Transferring your ISA is a simple process, but there are a few rules you might need to know.
How much of my ISA can I transfer?
You can move as much of your ISA from previous tax years as you like. However, if you’d like to transfer money you already put into your ISA this tax year, you’ll need to transfer all of this year’s pot together.
How long does it take to transfer?
It typically takes just over 3 weeks to transfer an ISA. We’ll contact your provider for you, and we’ll let you know when your HL Stocks and Shares ISA is open.
How does transferring affect my ISA allowance?
Transferring doesn’t count towards your ISA allowance, which is £20,000 in the 2019/2020 tax year. You can transfer an ISA at any time in the tax year.
