    You have upto 5 April to transfer it into a new ISA. Check out the current ISA offerings, pick one you like, open an ISA account and tell them that you want to transfer-in from Icesave. As part of the account opening process you will have to supply the certificate and pay the funds into it.

    In the meantime, you can keep the money where-ever you like. You will be taxed on any interest received on it until it's back in an ISA.

    You ring up your prospective new provider and ensure that they are aware of the IceSave certificates, and what to do with them.

    Once you're certain they won't fluff it up, you send your certificate, along with a cheque for the amount drawn on the account where your funds are, along with a completed ISA transfer form supplied by the new provider.

    The money itself won't get taxed, only any interest it may generate while it's there.

    I had no problem with Northern Rock. Just filled in the online application form, printed it off and sent it with a personal cheque, the re-instatement certificate, and a transfer form, quoting Icesave Compensation as the Institution I was transferring from. Account was open within a week.

    My wife and I moved our Icesave ISAs to Julian Hodge last week.
    The JH ISA was 4.25% fixed for one year.

    You download the transfer form and return your Icesave certificate plus cheque. No need to send the transfer authority form as you already have the cash.

    Julian Hodge are accepting Icesave transfers so their process is very efficient. From application to completion took just 1 week for us.
