@horner84, the only way to transfer from GIA to ISA is by selling in GIA and re-purchasing them in your ISA account that is not possible on a bank holiday.
alternatively, is it get loan, fund ISA today and re-pay them as soon as you can.

I believe you’re asking about a cash transfer, not transferring shares from the GIA to your ISA. The latter isn’t possible and this is no fault of Freetrade. I believe that the former could be done directly by :freetrade: staff for you, but it’s a manual process and obviously wouldn’t happen on a bank holiday. Realistically, it’s fastest to withdraw and then deposit again. Withdrawals are not instant though.

Though instant withdrawals and deposits would be better, you should be aware of timescales and that staff don’t typically work on bank holidays.
