Investing in a stocks and shares ISA might be a better way to invest in the long run, compared to cash savings, but nothing is guaranteed. Your investments can go up or down and you may get back less than you put in. Anyone who says different, is lying!
The tables below offers a quick comparison of all the major players out there, a couple of highlights and links to where you can get started with those products.
My ISA Platforms in 2024

How many stocks and shares ISAs can you have?
For the new 2024/25 tax year you can open and pay into as many stocks and shares ISA’s as you like but you cannot breach the investment threshold of £20,000 for adults in this tax year.
I have three ISA accounts. Since I have tried several platforms over the years, I have never transferred an ISA to another platform.
Popular ISA Platforms for 2024
I don’t use these guys currently for a stocks and shares ISA, but I know lots of people that do, and are very pleased with them. Worth a look around.
