How do I transfer an ISA?
Our transfer process makes it easy to bring your ISAs together - just tell us where they're currently held and we'll do the rest.
Get your details ready
Apply to transfer
We’ll do the rest
Please remember that once the transfer has begun for a stocks and shares ISA, you’ll be unable to switch, top up, or sell the investments you’re moving until the process is complete.
There are two ways to transfer a stocks and shares ISA.
Transfer as cash
- Your current investments will be sold and the proceeds moved to your Fidelity ISA as cash.
- You’ll be out of the market while the cash is being transferred, which means it won’t go up or down if markets rise or fall during that time.
- Once your cash has transferred you can choose your new investments.
- Transfers usually take 6–8 weeks but can complete in 2 weeks. It depends on how quickly the fund groups or platforms act and whether your current provider is using an industry-accepted, up-to-date transfer service.
Transfer investments as they are (re-registration)
- If we offer the same investments as you currently hold in your stocks and shares ISA, we’ll move them to Fidelity as they are. You can check what's available on our platform in Investment Finder.
- If your investments sit in a different share class to the one we offer, we'll work with your current provider to convert them to the share class we have. A share class is a version of a fund. There may be additional costs for this and you'll be out of the market for a short period. Where we can, we'll convert them to the cheapest share class available on our platform.
- If we can’t, or you start the transfer process with shares we don’t currently offer, we’ll sell them and move the proceeds as cash to your ISA. You’ll be out of the market while the cash is being transferred, which means you could miss out on growth and income if markets rise or fall during that time. You can then invest that cash in any fund or share in our range.
- When moving an ISA to Fidelity you need to transfer all the investments in it. This includes investments from this tax year and previous years.
- Transfers usually take 6–8 weeks but can complete in 4 weeks. It depends on how quickly the fund groups or platforms act and whether your current provider is using an industry-accepted, up-to-date transfer service.
- You can transfer a cash ISA or stocks and shares ISA to us from another provider.
- Any ISAs you transfer remain in their tax-efficient wrappers and don’t count towards your annual £20,000 ISA allowance.

ISA transfer FAQs
There are many reasons why you might consider transferring your ISA.
- Consolidating your ISAs could make it easier to manage your finances.
- Some providers offer a wider selection of investment options than others.
- You’ve shopped around and found a provider with lower fees.
- A stocks and shares ISA could give you potential returns that you may not get from a cash ISA, although this isn’t guaranteed.
- Having new saving goals might encourage you to switch to an ISA that is better suited to your needs.
Whatever your reasons, the decision to transfer your ISA is personal. So, it’s always best to do your research before you make the choice.
An ISA transfer can usually take up to eight weeks to complete but this can vary depending on the handling times of the fund groups or platforms involved in the process. This will also depend on whether they are processed by post or electronically.
No, you cannot transfer an ISA to another person.
Fidelity doesn’t charge you for transferring your ISA to us, but your current provider might. If they do, we’ll cover up to £500 exit fees ( T&Cs apply).

Exit fees terms and conditions
In order to request exit fees re-imbursement you will be required to complete an exit fees re-imbursement form, or request over the phone by calling us on 0333 300 3351.
Terms and conditions for re-imbursement of exit fees
This offer does not apply to any investments linked to an Adviser / Intermediary or third party.
Fidelity will reimburse the exit/redemption fees charged to a customer by their former provider/s when they move their investments (minimum of £100) to Fidelity, up to a maximum amount of £500 per customer.
An exit fee is an administration charge which is imposed by the former provider and arises directly as a result of processing the transfer or re-registration of the customer’s investments to Fidelity. Fidelity will not reimburse the customer for any loss of investment returns, loss of interest, dealing charges, penalties for transferring investments before their maturity dates or any other charges associated with your transfer or re-registration.
Where a re-registration or transfer is not possible and the customer chooses to sell their investments held through another provider and subsequently make new investment/s (minimum £10,000) through Fidelity, Fidelity will cover any account closure fees charged by the customer’s former provider (excluding any dealing charges) of up to £500 per customer. Fidelity will not cover any bid-offer spreads or any capital gains tax liability arising as a result of these transactions.
Exit and account closure fees reimbursement must be claimed within a 6 month period from date of transfer of the customer’s investments to Fidelity. Exit fees will be reimbursed for transfers and re-registrations and account closure fees will be reimbursed provided the conditions above are met. Products included: ISAs, PEPs, Unit Trusts, OEICs, SICAVs, Fidelity Personal Pension, EBS SIPP and the Fidelity SIPP. Products excluded: ShareNetwork.
To qualify for the reimbursement, the fees from the customer’s former provider must have been triggered as a direct result of the transfer or re-registration to Fidelity, or the closure of an account where the customer has subsequently (within 6 months) invested at least £10,000 through Fidelity. If the customer is transferring investments to more than one provider from their former provider at the same time, Fidelity will only reimburse the fees which are incurred as a result of direct transfer or re-registration to Fidelity. Other fees or charges unconnected with the transfer will not be reimbursed.
The completed Exit Fee Reimbursement Form and documentary evidence of the charge will need to be provided in order for the exit fees to be reimbursed to the customer. To claim the reimbursement of any account closure fees, documentary evidence of the closure fee levied will need to be provided to Fidelity, along with confirmation that a minimum of £10,000 has been invested with Fidelity within 6 months of incurring such closure fee.
The documentary evidence referred to above, must be either a copy of the charge confirmation letter from the former provider or a statement showing the charge being deducted.
Payment will be made to the customer by BACS when a bank mandate is held on the account. Alternatively, payment will be made by cheque.
