Time for a top-up?
If you've not yet made the most of your £20,000 tax-free ISA allowance for 2024/25, you can top up your With Profits Stocks and Shares ISA quickly and easily online. You can add a lump sum of £500 or more at any time, or you can set monthly payments to maximise your allowance.
Bear in mind the value of investments and any income can go down as well as up, so you could get back less than you invest
Transferring in from another ISA
If you have an existing ISA with another provider, you can transfer all or part of your previous tax year contributions without affecting your ISA allowance. Current tax year contributions will count towards this limit. Watch our video to find out more.
Want to transfer your ISA to Wesleyan?
You’ll need to transfer at least £500. If it is a Lifetime ISA, you will need to transfer the full amount you've invested this tax year.
Even if you don't have a With Profits Stocks and Shares ISA yet, you can open one with a transfer. Just note in this case, the minimum transfer is £1,000.
