How long does an ISA transfer take?
ISA transfers should take no longer than:
- 5 business days for an internal transfer from one cash ISA / Help to Buy: ISA to another cash ISA / Help to Buy: ISA (example - transfer from a NatWest Cash ISA account to a NatWest Fixed Rate ISA account)
- To switch ISA providers, contact the ISA provider you want to move to and fill out an ISA transfer form to move your account. . Allow up to 14 business days for an external transfer (different provider) from one cash ISA/Help to Buy ISA to another cash ISA/Help to Buy ISA.
- 30 calendar days for transfers to / or from stocks and shares ISAs
Should a cash ISA transfer not be completed within the expected timeline interest is backdated, so you will not miss out (The Fixed Rate ISA transfer request must have been submitted within the timelines detailed within the key dates section on your information sheet).
If your current provider uses the manual transferring process, this process could take a considerably longer time to process as we are relying on the other provider sending us both, your transaction history list and your balance.
