OUR AWARDS CABINET
What is an ISA?
Launched in 1999, ISA stands for Individual Savings Account. ISAs are a tax-efficient way to save or invest up to £20,000 each tax year; this £20,000 is known as your annual ISA allowance.
These are four different types of ISAs: Stocks and Shares ISA (aka Investment ISA); Cash ISA; Innovative ISA, and Lifetime ISA (which has a £4,000 allowance). Even though all four ISAs offer different options and benefits, you can split your annual £20,000 allowance between them.
The great thing about ISAs is that you don’t have to pay capital gains tax or income tax on any of the money you earn. This means you get to keep more of the interest or returns you make!
Transferring an ISA?
HERE ARE A FEW THINGS TO CONSIDER
- You can transfer any Cash ISAs or Stocks and Shares ISAs (Investment ISAs) you have with other providers to Wealthify.
- When you transfer an ISA to Wealthify, you should always use the official ISA transfer form to retain the ISA tax benefits.
- Transferring ISAs from previous tax years doesn’t impact your current ISA allowance, so you can still put up to £20,000 into an ISA this tax year.

These funds contain a collection of investments – including shares, bonds, and property – and provide the following benefits:
- A convenient, cost-effective way to invest.
- Diversification, meaning your risk is spread.
- Your money tracks entire markets, like the FTSE 100.
Even though the mix of funds will change over time, our team of experts optimise your Plan regularly, keeping it in line with your chosen investment style.
ETHICAL INVESTMENT OPTIONS
With Wealthify, investing for your future also means being able to invest in the planet's future at the same time.
That's why we've joined forces with best-in-class ethical fund providers, to create five Ethical Plans that let you invest in organisations committed to having a positive impact on society and the environment. All our fund providers are signatories of the Principles of Responsible Investing (PRI), the world’s leading proponent of responsible investing.
The actively managed ethical funds employed in plans keep a close eye on the organisations in which they invest - employing rigorous, ongoing screening to ensure ethical standards are maintained.

Investment FAQs
You can open an ISA with Wealthify if you:
- Are aged 18 or over.
- Are a UK tax resident.
- Have not opened an Investment ISA (other than within a Lifetime ISA) with another provider in the current tax year.
When you’re building your Investment Plan, the first question you'll be asked is whether you'd like to open an ISA or a General Investment Account (select ‘ISA’). Under the current rules, you can only open one of each type of ISA per tax year (Investment ISA, Cash ISA, Innovative ISA, and Lifetime ISA) — but you can split your annual ISA allowance between them however you like.
If you’re likely to exceed your ISA allowance, you can simply set up a General Investment Plan to invest additional funds. There’s no extra cost for having two or more Plans.
The ISA maximum you can save each tax year (which runs from the 6th of April to 5th of April the following year) is £20,000. Under the current rules, you can put the full £20,000 allowance in either: a Cash ISA; peer to peer lending; Investment ISA; or split the £20,000 allowance between the two in any combination you like.
Nothing! A Stocks and Shares ISA and an Investment ISA are just different names for tax-free investments.
Yes, you can withdraw funds from your ISA plan at any time, without penalty. However, if you withdraw money from this year's ISA, you'll lose that portion of your ISA allowance.
Yes, they are. All your investments in our ISAs and General Investment Account products are held with our custodian bank, Winterflood Securities: a global financial services provider and part of Close Brothers Group, who have been trading for more than 130 years. The custodian of our Pension products is Embark Pensions, who are part of the UK’s fastest-growing digital retirement platform, Embark Group.
Winterflood Securities and Embark both hold your assets separately (ring-fenced) from Wealthify. So, even if we went into administration, our creditors would not have a claim to your investments.
The Financial Services Compensation Scheme may also cover the first £85,000 of your investments. However, it’s essential to understand that the FSCS doesn’t cover you if your investments do not perform as expected (and you get back less than you originally invested).
