As many of you will be aware, Zopa announced the closure of their P2P arm in early December 2021, with thousands of retail investors expected to have their funds returned to them by the 31st January 2022. This has led to a requirement for many investors to find a new ISA Manager.
Why is transferring important?
If an investor chooses to withdraw their balance from Zopa to their bank account and then transfer it from their bank to a new ISA Manager, the funds will be classed as part of this years £20,000 ISA allowance and potentially create an issue.
The tax rules around ISAs mean that investors must transfer funds/assets from one ISA account to another in the right way to keep their tax-free savings intact.
