Transfer an ISAThe LendingCrowd Income IFISA allows you to earn tax-free returns* on your peer-to-peer loans. You decide how much to lend, from a minimum of £1,000 up to £20,000 this tax year. We’ll automatically diversify your funds across the loans available on our Loan Market – sit back and let our platform do the hard work for you. Your interest payments will be transferred to a separate account so you can withdraw them, while your capital repayments will be automatically lent out. If your portfolio value is between £1,000 and £1,999, no more than 2% of your funds will be lent to any one business. This maximum target exposure reduces to 1% for portfolios of between £2,000 and £4,999, and to 0.5% for portfolios of £5,000 and above.
The longer you hold the Income IFISA, the more diverse your portfolio will become, as your capital repayments will automatically be used to purchase new loan parts on your behalf. Remember that diversification is key to mitigating risk.
We also allow you to transfer in your other ISA accounts. This means you can lend even more with the Income IFISA without losing any tax benefits*.

You can cash in all or part of your Income IFISA balance, but you must maintain an account value of at least £1,000 for the platform to continue lending on your behalf. If you want to withdraw your funds, you can sell loan holdings on our Loan Market. There’s a withdrawal fee of 1% of the capital withdrawn. The time taken to access your funds depends on how quickly your holdings are sold. The ability to sell depends on other lenders buying your loans.
