An ISA, or Individual Savings Account, is a tax-efficient savings or investment account that allows you to put money into a wide range of investments, from individual stocks and shares to funds, bonds and ETFs.
For more details, check our guide on what is a stocks and shares ISA.
Your Stocks and Shares ISA costs a flat fee of £3/month, and there are no commissions for placing trades.
You can use our fees calculator to compare against other ISA providers.
Investing puts your money to work in companies across the world, so your long-term return with a stocks and shares ISA could be higher than a cash ISA.
And using an ISA, your long-term returns should see much less tax than with a regular investing account.
When you invest, your capital is at risk. Tax rules for ISAs can change and their benefits depend on your circumstances.
To qualify for this offer you must have opened your Freetrade ISA before 23 September 2021.
You can pay into one stocks and shares ISA account in each tax year, so if you opened one already, you wouldn’t be able to open one until the new tax year starts. You can, however, transfer your existing stocks and shares ISA over from a different provider.
Your annual ISA allowance for the 2021/2022 tax year is £20,000. This means you could put up to a total of £20,000 into one or multiple ISAs (eg. LISA, cash ISA, stocks and shares ISA), and you would be exempt from paying income, capital gains and dividend tax on any gains you make. Make sure you use your allowance by the end of the tax year on 5 April each year. Any unused allowance won’t be carried over to the following tax year, so you lose it forever if you don’t use it.
To transfer your stocks and shares ISA from another provider to Freetrade, you just need to complete a form, and we will do the rest for you. The transfer process might take four to six weeks, but we will let you know when it’s all completed.
You’ll need to be 18 years of age or over and a UK resident. If you’ve already opened a stocks and shares ISA in the current tax year, you won’t be eligible for a new account. You can’t open a stocks and shares ISA for someone else.
If you want to make the most out of your 2021/22 ISA allowance you have to open and contribute into an ISA before the deadline at midnight on Monday 5 April 2021.
Any contributions made after this time will count towards next year's allowance, which means you could lose out.
You don’t need thousands of pounds to open an ISA account. If you want to open a stocks and shares ISA with Freetrade, you can start from £2.
Yes, you can hold more than one ISA at once, so you can have multiple cash ISAs or stocks and shares ISAs with different providers. However, each tax year you can only open or contribute to one of each type of ISA account. Your yearly allowance will be split across these accounts.
If you wish to transfer your existing ISA to a different provider during the tax year, you will be able to do so; just watch out for any transfer out fees that might apply.
No, you can’t transfer stocks you already hold in a regular brokerage account into an ISA. To get the tax benefits that come with an ISA, you have to deposit money into one and then invest it.This means anyone who holds stocks and shares in a regular brokerage account will have to carry out bed and ISA transactions if they want to move them into an ISA.
To qualify for this offer you must open your Freetrade ISA between 23 September and 30 November 2021.
Step 1: Open an ISA with Freetrade between 23 September and 30 November 2021.
Step 2: Deposit at least £500 into your new ISA or commence an ISA transfer within 14 days of opening the account. Transfers must be completed by 31 January 2022 in order to qualify for a free share. Deposits made more than 14 days from the account being opened will not be counted towards your free share value.
Step 3: We’ll award your free share within 30 days of your deposit or your transfer completing.
