Online - log in to your account, click on “Shares ISA” then select “Payments”. From here you can choose to pay by debit card, by BACS from your nominated bank account, or by taking money from your Dealing account:

Please remember: in order to make a payment to your Shares ISA online, you will need to log-in using your account number and PIN. If you are opening a new account, you should choose your PIN at that time, rather than electing to have one sent to you.

• Deadline for debit card payments: 23.59, Monday 5 April.

Please bear in mind that online debit card payments may not be authorised by your bank if they are outside your normal transaction range, so please ensure you allow sufficient time to allow for this eventuality.

Please remember that, due to FSA regulations, you are not able to use a credit card to make payments into any share dealing account.

• Deadline for bank transfer by BACS: 14.45p.m., Monday 29 March.

Choose the 'Bank transfer (BACS)' option to arrange a transfer from your nominated bank account.

HMRC regulations require that the funds are received by us within this tax year in order to qualify, so you will need to send us your instructions to take this payment from your Bank account by this date.

• Deadline for transfer from your Dealing account: 11.59 p.m. on Tuesday 31 March.

This deadline applies to online transfers that you make from your Dealing account to a Shares ISA.
A later date applies to transfers by telephone - see below.

Telephone - please call us on 0845 0700 720 to make the following payments:

Lines are open from 07:45 to 19:00, Monday to Friday.

• Deadline for debit card payments: 19:00, Thursday 1 April.
• Deadline for a transfer from a Dealing account: 19:00, Thursday 1 April.

Post - please write to Selftrade, Boatman's House, 2 Selsdon Way, London E14 9LA.

• Deadline for receipt by us: 19:00, Thursday 1 April.
• Send a cheque drawn on your nominated bank account payable to Selftrade and write your account number and 'Shares ISA' on the reverse of your cheque.

Via your Bank - instructions given to your Bank to send funds to us should be given in good time, so that the payment reaches our account by the time stated below.

• Deadline for your payment to be received by us: 19:00, Thursday 1 April.

CHAPS payment instructions must be given directly to your Bank. Please check the cut-off time for instructions to be received by your Bank in order to ensure your payment will reach us by the deadline. Your Bank will normally make a charge for a CHAPS payment. In order that we can comply with Anti-Money Laundering Regulations, please provide confirmation that funds have originated from your nominated bank account: we will not be able credit your account until this has been received.

Our Shares ISA allows you to make subscriptions for any number of tax years; it's a convenient way to manage all your ISA investments in one place. We'll automatically keep track of how much you subscribe in each tax year to ensure you do not inadvertently exceed your ISA allowance, but do remember to allow for any Cash ISA subscription you may have made in the current tax year.

You can use any of the payment options outlined above: naturally the timings will not apply given that once your account is opened you can pay in ay any time during the 2010/11 tax year. We will advise deadlines for April 2011 nearer the time.

You may wish to use our Regular Investment Service in conjunction with a regular direct debit to invest in your ISA across the tax year. To set-up a direct debit payment into your Shares ISA, log-in, select your Shares ISA account then click on the 'Payments' tab.

2. This offer is not available to customers who hold a Selftrade account in association with a third party offering.  If you require further clarification as to whether you are eligible, please click here to send us a message or call us on 0845 0700 720.

3. No dealing fee will be payable on the number of free trades for which you qualify, depending upon the amount you subscribe to a Shares ISA as follows:

   ISA year	Relevant Period	Initial subscription	No. free trades	To use by:
   2009/10	29 Jan to 5 April 2010	Up to £3,600	1	30 April 2010

   		£10,000 or more (max £10,200)	10	31 May 2010

   The 'initial subscription' is the amount that you first deposit into your Shares ISA during the relevant period. Any subsequent deposit will not count towards your 'initial subscription'.

   Full priced trades exclude any Regular Investment Service purchase, Fund purchases, or any trades which are not charged the standard £12.50 dealing fee.

   The number of free trades for which you qualify will be added to your account on the next working day following the completion of account opening formalities where applicable and acceptance by us of your initial subscription during the relevant period.  Any trades completed on the same day that you subscribe to your Shares ISA will not be treated as free trades. 

   For a 2009/10 Shares ISA, the free trades must be completed by 30 April 2010; for a 2010/11 Shares ISA free trades must be completed by 31 May 2010.  Any unused free trades will lapse after the respective dates.

4. The free trades apply to all instruments available to be bought or sold through your account, as indicated by the 'tick' symbol on the Selftrade website, and for any value, provided that your account is sufficiently funded prior to trading.
5. Free trades can be placed online, by telephone or via your web-enabled mobile device. However, please note that limit and stop orders placed via your mobile device will not be eligible. If you are unable to execute your trade online please let our dealers know so they can utilise your free trades. The trades will be subject to Selftrade's terms and conditions.
6. Free trades will be applied against any trade executed through your Selftrade account.
7. The free trades will not count towards your eligibility for our Frequent Trader tariff.
8. No cash alternative is available.
9. This offer is subject to Selftrade's general and supplemental terms and conditions and will be governed by the laws of England and Wales.

10. Selftrade reserves the right to withdraw this offer at any time and any account that has not fully complied with these Terms at such a time will not be eligible to receive the free trades offer.

    Selftrade provides an execution-only service and your decision to invest with Selftrade is made entirely at your discretion. We do not provide investment advice or manage investments. If you are unsure about the suitability of an investment, you should seek advice from an independent financial adviser.

    Please remember that a Shares ISA is intended for the longer-term and that the value of investments, and any income from them, can go down as well as up and you could get back less than you invested. Any yield is variable and not guaranteed. Tax rules may change.
