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.

    Have a look here http://www.natwest.com/personal/savings/g2/isas/e-isa.ashx and once opened it says one can just fill in the form and transfer it.
  • 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 :)

    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

    Hi
    I called them today and got told the same thing-ie open an e isa account in the new tax year after 6th april and trasfer the whole amount from the cash isa to the eisa .I assume thats right then cause it seems to be a consistant answer .

    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:

    Transfers do not affect your annual Cash ISA allowance. The full balance of the old account can be transferred and up to £3,600 can be added (or paid into a different Cash ISA) in each tax year.
