Hey guys,

I'm wanting to transfer my current Natwest ISA to a Natwest e-ISA, I rang customer service and they told me to open the e-ISA and do the transfer on line, but I'm not sure she was tellin me the truth.

Has anyone transfered from Natwest isa to Natwest e-isa or know how i would do it?

Thanks.

Best answers:

• As above yes you can,
  "Transfer your other ISAs to NatWest - it's simple to transfer your cash ISAs from other providers or from NatWest, into an e-ISA. Just complete a Cash ISA transfer form (PDF file 92kb). and take it your local branch or post it to Central Tax Unit, 9th Floor, 1 Hardman Boulevard, Manchester M3 3AQ"
• You need to open the e-isa with a zero balance
  (input '1.00' and select 'yes' to cheque/cash deposit, this will allow you to open it with 0) Instead of returning a 1.00 cheque with the application form when it arrives in the post, send the completed ISA transfer form which you have printed and completed from the internet
• Has anyone had this actually go through successfully? I'm looking to do the same thing.
• Hi I was wondering if anyone above has actually managed to transfer from Natwest cash isa to e isa as I have a fairly large sum in the cash isa with a measly 1.2 pc interest
• Are they telling you just to do the transfer via online banking!?
• I too have a natwest ISA and would like to open the e-isa, when money is transfered to a new account are you still able to save upto 3,600 per annum or only the amount you transfer minus 3,600??:confused:
• Dont do an online transfer!
  Fill in the form and post it!
• Does that still apply if I'm transfering between two accounts with the same provider?
  i.e. I already have a cash ISA with NatWest and I want to xfer it into their E-ISA as it's a better rate.
• Im in the same situation. but I'd like to transfer from llyods to natwest e-ISA, my only worry is that it takes 30 days to complete the transfer so it'll be the new tax year 09/10 when the money is transferred (today is 26/03/09). does this mean i cannot use up my allowance for the 09/10 tax year???
