Anyone here moving their savings to dollars or another currency? I’m panicking. Also, is it worth transferring to an ISA rather than keep in savings at this moment?

Don’t panic - play the long game. If you don’t need access to your funds immediately - don’t take them from where they are unless it is a strategic move. You can hedge by getting some USD or some other strong currencies such as CHF but don’t move all… savings at the moment = losing money… interest paid doesn’t even cover inflation so yes, move it to a Stocks & Shares ISA and leverage the tax free returns - but make sure you invest because leaving the money idle will not help!

Agree with above, play the long game as it should be with ISAs in my opinion. A stocks & shares ISA will pay off in the long run, better to just invest a set amount you can comfortably afford each month and let it do its thing.
