You remain liable and responsible for payment of any tax due, including any on or in relation to the Loanpad ISA.

2. Applying for an ISA

2.1 Your application for an ISA must be made electronically on our lending platform. All applications are subject to acceptance by Loanpad in its complete discretion. We may require you to provide additional information to that provided in the ISA online application form for the purposes of opening the ISA.

2.2 Before we can open a Loanpad ISA, we are required to obtain an investor declaration from you (“Investor Declaration”). You will be required to sign the Investor Declaration before you can open your Loanpad ISA or make any subscriptions. We are required to decline an application if we have reason to believe that you are not or might not be a qualifying individual or have given untrue information in your application. Any application covers the current Year and successive Years in which you make subscriptions and we will treat your Investor Declaration as made in each and every Year in which your Loanpad ISA remains open.

2.3 We will carry out identity and fraud checks on you using credit reference agencies such as CallCredit, Equifax or Experian. Loanpad uses its own internal guidelines and policies when assessing applications. In making an application for a Loanpad ISA, you give your consent to such checks. If we cannot get adequate information from the credit reference agency, then we will ask you to send us copies of the relevant passports or other identification documents plus a utility bill and anything else that we may require.

2.4 Where accepted, the ISA will be registered in your name and in the name of us as the manager of your ISA. It will have a unique account number and the address of the ISA will be the address set out in your online application form.

3. Qualifying investments

3.1 The only investments that we, as your ISA manager, may purchase, make or hold in your Loanpad ISA for you are Peer-to-peer loans and Cash.

3.2 Your Loanpad ISA will consist of your current Year subscriptions (and any corresponding ISA income) and your previous Years ISA subscriptions.

3.3 You agree to comply with the Annual ISA Allowance.

3.4 You should not rely on the ‘Annual ISA Allowance’ figure displayed in your Loanpad ISA dashboard as it does not take into account funds you may have subscribed with other ISA managers in the current Year. It should be used as a guide only.

3.5 If you attempt to add new funds from your Standard Account to your Loanpad ISA which, when applied to your account, would exceed your remaining Annual ISA Allowance, your transfer will not proceed and you will be asked to amend the amount you wish to transfer and try again. If, despite this, you still think you have exceeded the Annual ISA Allowance you must contact us immediately. You should also contact HMRC and flag that you have exceeded the limit. You may be required to pay tax on the amount exceeded at the tax rate that applies to you. You could also be liable for a penalty or other fines by HMRC in relation to the breach.

3.6 We do not pay standard interest on Client money that is in cash and not lent.

3.7 It is your responsibility to account for any tax imposed on you as a result of making loans through your Loanpad ISA. We shall not deduct any tax from any interest you receive and/or any proceeds of sale of your rights under any loan agreement which is made using your Loanpad ISA.

4. Operation of Account

4.1 All operations of your Loanpad ISA will be governed by the Loanpad Investor T&Cs, with the exception of transferring funds into and out of your Loanpad ISA, as described in Clauses 5 and 6 below.

4.2 You can only transfer funds into your Loanpad ISA in accordance with Clause 5 below or through the ISA transfer mechanism in accordance with Clause 8 below.

4.3 You can only transfer funds out of your Loanpad ISA in accordance with Clause 6 below or through the ISA transfer mechanism in accordance with Clause 9 below.

4.4 You must not allow any other person to access or use your Loanpad ISA.

4.5 When making loans using your Loanpad ISA, you are making an investment and your capital is at risk. You are fully responsible for any losses which may be incurred from this investment. It may, or will, not be possible to sell or trade P2P agreements at market value on a secondary market.

5. Adding Funds to your ISA

5.1 In order to add funds to your Loanpad ISA, you must transfer Cash from your Standard Account into your Loanpad ISA (subject to subscription limits). Your rights under existing loans cannot be transferred in, and only new loans can be held in your Loanpad ISA.

5.2 A transfer under clause 5.1 will be deemed to be a new subscription for that Year unless you are replacing funds already transferred out in the same Year in accordance with Clause 6.

6. Withdrawing funds from your ISA

6.1 You may transfer funds out of your Loanpad ISA at any time by transferring those funds from your ISA Cash Account to your Standard Cash Account.

6.2 The transfer must consist of the cash initially subscribed or invested in the Loanpad ISA, or the income or interest received in respect to your P2P loans.

6.3 You have no transfer rights in relation to the non-cash ISA investments that you have made. Funds that are part of a lending offer which has been allocated to a borrower or is on loan, must be encashed before they can be transferred out.

6.4 By making a transfer under this Clause 6, you may lose the tax benefits applicable to those funds under the ISA Regulations if they are not replaced in the same Year. This includes where you make such a transfer in error.

7. Flexible ISA

7.1 The Loanpad ISA is a flexible ISA. You can replace, in whole or in part, cash you have withdrawn in any Year, by a replacement subscription of a cash amount made in that Year without the replacement counting towards your subscription limit for that year. Withdrawals made before an ISA Transfer Out pursuant to Clause 9 of these Loanpad ISA Terms cannot be replaced in your Loanpad ISA after the transfer. Pursuant to the ISA Regulations in relation to flexible ISAs:

8. ISA Transfers In

8.1 We may accept a transfer of an existing ISA in our sole discretion.

8.2 We will only accept inward transfers in cash, of which the balance must be at least £500.

8.3 We may, in our sole discretion, accept a transfer of current Year ISA subscriptions in another innovative finance ISA.

8.4 In order to begin the transfer process, you will need to sign a “Transfer Authority Form” and send it to us.

8.5 The transfer process will begin on the date on the Transfer Authority Form or the date you stipulate for us to begin the transfer process, whichever is later. Once you have requested the transfer using the Transfer Authority Form, we will endeavour to complete the transfer using the ISA manager to ISA manager transfer process set out in the ISA Regulations. We will then send your request for the transfer of money in your existing ISA to your existing ISA provider together with confirmation that we will accept the ISA transfer. We aim to complete the transfer within 30 calendar days of receiving your Transfer Authority form but cannot guarantee this as it will depend largely on your existing ISA provider. You should not make this transfer yourself and doing so could result in the loss of ISA tax benefits on those funds.

8.6 We do not charge you for arranging a transfer of an ISA to Loanpad, but the existing ISA manager may charge you for the transfer.

8.7 If you transfer more than one ISA from previous Years to us, we will place all previous Years’ cash holdings in a client deposit bank account with a deposit taking institution. This means that you will not be able to distinguish between your previous Years holdings when viewing your holdings.

8.8 Subscriptions to multiple ISAs of the same type, with the exception of Lifetime ISA, within the tax year are allowed. All subscriptions must remain within the overall ISA limit of £20,000.

8.9 It is your responsibility at all times to ensure you do not exceed the Annual ISA Allowance as specified under the ISA Regulations. You acknowledge and agree that we shall not be liable to you for any loss or damage you suffer as a result of a failed transfer as a result of this clause.

8.10 If, as a result of transferring one or more of your current Year subscriptions to us and you exceed the Annual ISA Allowance as prescribed under the ISA Regulations, we may take any action we deem necessary to repair or make void any current Year ISA subscriptions (or any part of) exceeding the Annual ISA Allowance (in accordance with Clause 10 of these Loanpad ISA Terms); transfer all funds above the Annual ISA Allowance into your Standard Account; or return the relevant funds to the ISA manager sending the funds to us.

9. ISA Transfers Out

9.1 We do not charge a fee to transfer your Loanpad ISA to another ISA manager.

9.2 You can only transfer your current Year’s or previous Years’ ISA subscriptions with us to another ISA manager if they are in cash. Where we receive a valid transfer authority form, but some or all of the funds you wish to transfer are not in cash, we will inform you that the transfer cannot proceed until the appropriate amount of funds are held in cash.

9.3. You may transfer:

(a) all of the cash in your Loanpad ISA subscribed in the current Year; and

(b) all or part of any cash in your Loanpad ISA subscribed in previous Years to another ISA provider in accordance with the ISA Regulations and these Loanpad ISA Terms.

9.4 You may only transfer your subscriptions to another stocks and shares account, cash account, innovative finance account or lifetime ISA belonging to you.

9.5 You will need to contact the other ISA provider in order to arrange a transfer and you can choose the date funds are transferred, subject to us being allowed a reasonable period to implement that transfer. Upon receipt of a valid transfer authority form, we will notify you of its receipt and we will endeavour to comply with the ISA manager to ISA manager transfer process set out in the ISA Regulations. That reasonable period shall not, subject to clause 9.2, exceed 30 calendar days and shall be consistent with the requirements of the ISA Regulations. You should not make this transfer yourself and doing so could result in the loss of ISA tax benefits on those funds.

9.6 It is your responsibility at all times to ensure you do not exceed the Annual ISA Allowance as specified under the ISA Regulations. You acknowledge and agree that we shall not be liable to you for any loss or damage you suffer as a result of a failed transfer as a result of this clause.

10. Repairing and Voiding your ISA

10.1. We will notify you if, by reason of any failure to satisfy the provisions of the ISA Regulations, your Loanpad ISA has, or will, become void.

10.2 If, for any reason, your Loanpad ISA is invalid or a particular subscription you have made is invalid, we will firstly, and if permitted under the ISA Regulations, attempt to repair your Loanpad ISA or invalid subscription.

10.3 If your entire Loanpad ISA or any invalid subscription (or any part of a subscription), whichever is the case, cannot be repaired (or we are not permitted to carry out a repair under the ISA Regulations) by taking any corrective action, your entire Loanpad ISA or a particular subscription (or any part of a subscription) will become void. This means you will lose any tax relief available and may be required to make a payment of taxation. You will be contacted by HMRC in either case.

10.4 You agree that we may take any action we deem necessary (i) to repair an invalid Loanpad ISA or an invalid subscription; or (ii) upon a Loanpad ISA or such a subscription becoming void, whether we are required to do so on the order of HMRC, under ISA Regulations or otherwise. This action includes (but is not limited to):

(a) transferring all ISA funds (including funds that were on loan and we have encashed on your behalf) in your Loanpad ISA to your Standard Account and thereafter closing your Loanpad ISA;

(b) transferring any invalid subscriptions (or any part of a subscription which is invalid) together with any income earned on that subscription or part thereof, from your Loanpad ISA to your Standard Account; and

(c) transferring any sums in (a) or (b) back to your nominated bank account.

10.5 You agree that you will remain liable for and responsible for payment of any tax due on or in relation to an invalid ISA or invalid subscription and we will not be liable for any taxation or penalties you incur as a result of any invalid subscriptions.

11. Cancellation

11.1 Subject to clause 11.2, you may cancel your Loanpad ISA by giving us notice of cancellation within 14 days of your agreeing to these Loanpad ISA Terms. If you would like to cancel your ISA, please email us at isa@loanpad.com.

11.2 You will not be able to exercise cancellation rights if you have made a lending offer and all or part of this remains allocated funds, or a loan agreement has been made in relation to your ISA funds, or you have initiated a transfer of previous years’ ISA subscriptions to us and we have received the funds. You acknowledge that by carrying out any of the above that this right of cancellation will no longer apply.

11.3 Should you choose to cancel your ISA within the 14-day cancellation period, you will preserve your eligibility to open an ISA either with us or another ISA Manager. This will not apply if you cancel your ISA after this period.

11.4 When your account is cancelled, any money credited to your account will be transferred to your Standard Account.

12. Closing your Loanpad ISA

12.1 You have the right to close your Loanpad ISA whenever you wish. To close your Loanpad ISA, you must provide us with written instructions via email or post.

12.5 Where your Loanpad ISA is to close and there are outstanding P2P loans held within the ISA, we will take steps to encash all your P2P loans held within your ISA, unless agreed otherwise with you. P2P loans are illiquid by their nature and there may be no active market for their sale. We will take reasonable steps to encash your P2P loans within 30 calendar days, but this cannot be guaranteed.

12.6 Where your Loanpad ISA is to close and there is only cash held within your ISA (either because any P2P loans held within the ISA have been repaid or encashed), we will make payment into your Standard Account.

13. Late or non-repayment of loans

13.1 Where a borrower fails to make a repayment under the loan agreement, we will act in accordance with Clause 12 of the Loanpad Investor T&Cs, including taking all required steps to collect the repayments. However, repayment from borrowers is not guaranteed and your capital is at risk.

13.2 In most cases this will not impact your return as the Loanpad Interest Cover Fund will step in and make the missed payments to you instead. Please see Clause 14 of the Loanpad Investor T&Cs, which describes how the Interest Cover Fund operates.

13.3 Your ISA funds will remain in their ISA wrapper and all interest earned will still be free of income tax and capital gains tax.

14. Platform wind-down

14.1 We have planned for a platform wind-down to ensure that the loan agreements continue to be managed and administered such that the income generated from the loan agreements is sufficient to cover the costs of managing and administering the loan agreements during the wind-down process, taking into account the reduction in the size of the loanbook and the income generated from it.

14.2 The loan agreements will remain between investors and borrowers and the back-up service provider will continue to collect all payments due from borrowers and distribute the interest payments to our investors as usual.

14.3 Your loan agreements will remain enforceable and you will not lose the ISA status of funds in your Loanpad ISA. All interest earned will remain free of income tax and capital gains tax.

14.4 All investor funds that are not lent are held in a segregated client money account with a deposit taking institution in accordance with FCA Client Assets (CASS) rules. These funds are completely segregated from the day-to-day operations of Loanpad, and Loanpad or its creditors have absolutely no entitlement to these funds.

14.5 Where a resolution has been passed or a petition has been presented to wind up the company, we will notify you within 30 calendar days that we have ceased to be an ISA manager and advise you of your right to transfer your Loanpad ISA to another ISA manager.

15. Fees

15.1 We may, from time to time, charge you fees in connection with your use of the Loanpad ISA. The instances when we may charge fees in connection with your Loanpad ISA are specified in these Loanpad ISA Terms and in your Loanpad Investor T&Cs, and, other than fees for voiding or repairing your Loanpad ISA (as described in Clause 10 of these Loanpad ISA Terms), the amounts of these fees are published on our website (as amended from time to time).

Any subscriptions removed will be placed in your Standard Account.

16.4 If you inform us that you expect to be non-resident, no subscriptions will be removed. Only if you subsequently confirm you are non-resident will any subscriptions, except for flexible ISA replacement subscriptions, made in that Year be removed.

We will not accept subscriptions for the following Year, other than flexible ISA replacement subscriptions, until you have confirmed in writing that you expect to be resident in the UK. Where appropriate, we may require the completion of a fresh application and Investor Declaration.

17.1 If you are made bankrupt, you must let us know immediately and provide us with a copy of the bankruptcy order made by the court.

17.3 You will not lose any tax benefits you have already received but you may not be able to receive any further tax benefits.

18.5 If, after a period of three years, the administration of your estate is ongoing and your Loanpad ISA has not been closed, your Loanpad ISA will cease to be a 'continuing account of a deceased investor'. In these circumstances, on the next working day following the third anniversary of your death, we are required to remove the ISA wrapper from your Loanpad ISA and all subsequent income or gains will become taxable in the hands of the estate.
