Aviva is launching a new SAYE (Save As You Earn) to ISA transfer service – designed to help employees make the most of their maturing share plans. As a trusted household name in financial services, we [Aviva] bring decades of experience in helping people grow and manage their wealth. Now, we’re making it easier for them to keep more of what they’ve earned.
When your employees’ SAYE shares mature and they exercise, they have 90 days to transfer them into a Stocks & Shares ISA – and doing so means they won’t pay Capital Gains Tax (CGT) on any growth made during their saving period, or any future growth. With recent changes to CGT thresholds, this is more important than ever.
Launching to Aviva staff in November 2025 and to partners in 2026, our new digital journey makes the transfer process simple, fast and fully online. For employers, it’s low-effort. For employees, it’s a smart financial move.
Aviva’s flexible Stocks & Shares ISA gives your employees the freedom to invest in a way that suits their goals or keep hold of their shares as they see fit.
Shares must be within their £20,000 ISA limit. If they transfer their shares, account charges will apply.
Investments can go down as well as up in value and they could get back less than invested. Tax benefits are subject to change and depend on individual circumstances.
