ISA transfers

Just as your savings goals change, so can your ISA. What’s good to note is that you can transfer well earned money into savings that work harder for you.

 

What is an ISA transfer? When your money is moved from one ISA product to another and keeps its tax-free benefit.

 

But how does it work? It picks up your ISA savings and puts them into a new ISA account!

 

Before you do a transfer, you should find a new ISA you’d like to transfer to. You can then contact your new ISA provider to start the process.

 

Do I still earn interest while my ISA is transferring? If you do an ISA transfer to us, we pay interest from the day we get your funds from your other provider. If it’s a manual transfer, we’ll add your money from the date on the cheque and pay interest from this date. So your savings never miss out on that added sunshine.
