Paying in

ISA – how to pay into your account

You can pay in to your ISA using the following methods:

Debit card

You can pay in online or telephone our Customer Service team or Dealing team and give your card details. Once payment has been authorised by your bank you can place your dealing instructions.

We cannot accept payment by credit card.

Cheque

Please make cheques payable to The Share Centre Limited quoting your customer reference number and account number on the reverse. When drawing a cheque from a building society account, please ask them to print your name on the reverse as confirmation the funds came from your account. Please note; we cannot accept cheques from a third party.

BACS/CHAPS

A BACS payment takes three working days to be received whilst a CHAPS payment will usually clear on the same day, but your bank will charge you for this. To make a payment by BACS or CHAPS contact your bank and provide them with:
1. Your customer reference number
2. Your ISA account number
3. Our bank account details:

Bank of Scotland
Branch = Edinburgh
Account number = 00100130
Sort code = 12 21 37
Account name = The Share Centre Limited Customer Transfer A/C

Regular Investing

You can set up a direct debit to pay into your ISA. Simply print off the direct debit form, complete and return it to us.

How can regular investing help me?

When can I start dealing?

Debit card and cheque

You can start dealing immediately if you pay in using your debit card or a cheque.

CHAPS

You can start dealing once the funds have been received. Money paid via CHAPS will usually be received by close of business on the same day it was transferred.

BACS

You can start dealing once the funds have cleared, this usually takes 3 working days.

ISA – Share Certificate Switching Service

You can add ISA eligible shares you already hold as certificates to your Self-select Stocks & Shares ISA, up to your maximum allowance for the current year. Unless your shares come from an approved employee share scheme in the last 90 days, you will need to sell them, pay the proceeds into your ISA and then buy them back. Remember to take the difference between the sell and buy price into consideration as this could reduce your holding.

With our Share Certificate Switching Service you only pay commission on the original sale. The re-purchase is free from our normal dealing commission charge but is subject to Stamp Duty and PTM Levy where applicable.

ISA – transferring from your Share Option Scheme

You can transfer shares from an all-approved SAYE option scheme or SIP directly into your Self-select Stocks & Shares ISA. This applies even when the shares would not otherwise be qualifying investments, for example if they are not listed on a recognised investment exchange.
