How do I sell all of my investments and empty my account?

To make a full withdrawal from your investment account (Stocks & Shares ISA, GIA, or Stocks & Shares Lifetime ISA) you’ll need to sell down all of your investments, then withdraw the proceeds of these sales back to your bank account as cash.

Step 1

You can sell down your investments in Accounts > Tap on your account > Tap on your individual investment(s) > Sell. Sales typically complete within 5 working days, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us to let you know when each sale has completed. You can also track each sell you have in progress in Accounts > Tap on your account under Available Cash.

Step 2

Once your sells have completed and your funds held as Available Cash, you can make a full withdrawal to your linked bank account in Settings > Withdraw. Withdrawals from Available Cash are paid out within 1 working day.

Please note that, when withdrawing from a Stocks & Shares Lifetime ISA, a 25% government withdrawal penalty will apply when you withdraw from Available Cash if you are not using the funds towards a qualifying property purchase or retirement.
