Transferring from an Existing Cash ISA

An ISA transfer is when you switch your ISA savings to a new provider. You might do this to get a better interest rate, or to take advantage of a different type of ISA altogether. You can transfer an existing ISA elsewhere into your NatWest Cash ISA at any time, bringing all your ISAs together in one place.
