I have a 3 year fixed cash ISA which expires in May 2018.
I could transfer this to an IFISA this year but I would lose 120 days interest on it and, as it is a reasonable rate, I would prefer to let it run to maturity.
My question is, what happens then?
Is it possible to transfer the final sum to an IFISA on maturity rather than paid back to me?
Does anyone have any experience of this?

They usually roll over into another account paying little interest until you reinvest with your current provider or transfer elsewhere. Wait until it matures and then transfer to IFISA.

When your ISA approaches maturity your current provider will not want to lose your money so will probably offer you a choice of new deals for a continuation ISA. At this stage you can instruct a new IF ISA platform to arrange a transfer at maturation time. Should be quite straightforward. archie SNAP!  |

Thanks both for the stereo reply!
I'd forgotten that option.
