How can I move money from another account into my Moneybox Lifetime ISA?

You can move up to £4,000 each tax year (or your remaining LISA allowance for the tax year) from your Moneybox ISA, Simple Saver, or Reward Savings account to your LISA in Settings > Move money between accounts.

Once you’ve confirmed your move money request in the app, this will be complete within:

  • 1-2 working days if you’re moving into a Cash LISA or Available Cash within your Stocks & Shares LISA, or;
  • 3-6 working days if you’ve opted to invest your money in your Stocks & Shares LISA.

We’ll send you an email to confirm when your move has completed, and you’ll receive the 25% government bonus on any funds transferred into your LISA.

Moving money from an ISA to a LISA

You can request to move funds from an ISA to your Lifetime ISA in Settings > Move money between accounts. 

For Stocks & Shares ISA customers, you’ll need to sell down some investments to Available Cash first, which can be done in Wealth > ISA > Portfolio by selecting the fund and tapping ‘sell’. Once you’ve opted to sell, the funds should arrive in your Available Cash within 3-5 working days, ready for you to move to your LISA.

For Cash ISA or Open Access Cash ISA customers, you can request a move of any completed deposits straight away. Moving money from a Cash ISA to a Moneybox LISA does not count towards the 3 withdrawals you can make within each 12 month period without affecting your Cash ISA interest rate.

It's important you know

Capital at risk. All investing should be for the longer term. The value of your investments can go up and down, and you may get back less than you invest. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future.

A 25% government penalty applies if you withdraw money from a Lifetime ISA for any reason other than buying your first home (up to £450,000) or for retirement, and you may get back less than you paid into your Lifetime ISA.

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

Payments you make into your pension won’t be accessible until the minimum pension age (currently 55, increasing to age 57 from 2028). Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future.

For Business Saver: T&Cs apply. Max one withdrawal per day.
