Stocks and shares Isa switching incentives: are they any good?

Whether it’s cash, a voucher, or the chance to win an electric car, stocks and shares Isa providers are fighting for your business as the tax year draws to a close.

Investors looking to use up their £20,000 Isa allowance for 2023-24 need to do so before 6 April, when the allowance resets for the new tax year.

If you're not happy with your current investment platform, or you're on the hunt for another provider to open a new Isa, you could benefit from a range of offers currently available.

Here, Which? compares the offers on the market to see whether they’re worth the switch.

You can benefit from some switching or sign-up bonuses even if you don't have £10,000, but there’s a catch. Most of the offers that apply on amounts less than £10,000 are prize draws, meaning that, more often than not, you’ll not actually get anything for signing up.

How much do you need to access the best deals?

Several platforms have a tiered rewards system, meaning only the biggest investment portfolios benefit from the top offers.

If you see an offer that says the reward is ‘up to’ a certain amount, you’ll generally need at least £100,000 transferred in order to access the top advertised amount, but it can be even more.
