Morning 😀 👋,  
I’ve created a new portfolio within my SIPP and wanted to put some money into it today.

The website doesn’t proceed from the popup window Add Cash / Net Contribution so I am unable to transfer cash this way.

When I logged into the app and tried to add cash it shows me a message stating that it needs to be at least £100.

I don’t remember seeing anything about a minimum being applied to paying in money earlier. Could you please advise when this was implemented and communicated to customers?

This article doesn’t mention a minimum either in the Instant Bank Transfer paragraph.

There is no question relating to this either in here:

Thank you

Hi @Pinch - I’ve passed this on to the team to have a look at, either one of CX will come back with an update or I will. Hope that helps!

Hi @Pinch sorry for the delay getting back to you. The team have pointed me to this bit in the FAQs which says a new SIPP portfolio requires a minimum £100 investment: [https://help.investengine.com/hc/en-gb/articles/16025619992477-What-is-the-minimum-investment-to-open-an-InvestEngine-SIPP#:~:text=You%20can%20open%20your%20InvestEngine,portfolios%20can%20be%20found%20here](https://help.investengine.com/hc/en-gb/articles/16025619992477-What-is-the-minimum-investment-to-open-an-InvestEngine-SIPP#:~:text=You%20can%20open%20your%20InvestEngine,portfolios%20can%20be%20found%20here).
