I applied for the paper version of the isa on tuesday because i didnt have my activation code, but i got the activation code on saturday.

I still havent received my paperwork, so do you think i should just apply online and hope for instant opening?

I still need to fill out a transfer form

I like the look of this e-ISA for my 09/10 allowance.
Can I open one from 6 April with an opening balance of £3600 then transfer in an existing Fixed ISA maturing in June. This would take me over £10,000 to receive the 3.45% rate assuming they have not reduced the rates by then.

Well my natwest e-isa account has now shown up in my account, but the money i deposited at the time of opening the account is not there

Has anyone had the experience of transfering an ISA from A&L to NatWest?

The NatWest Transfer form only allows an 8 digit account number, but the A&L account number has 11 digits! There doesn't seem to be anyway around this as you complete the form electronically and then print it out.

Thanks.

You could try printing it out with only the first 8 digits of the A&L number - then adding the remaining 3 digits by hand before posting the form.

Yes, that is the route I have taken, although the form clearly states 'Do not write or mark outside of the boxes provided', so who knows what will happen.

I was hoping someone would have already had the same issue and been sucessful with the transfer so I could do the same thing. Don't want the '30 day' black-hole becoming a '90-day' black hole.

Oh good. I'm just worried as i deposited my 08/09 allowance, so if that doesn't go through i have lost out on that potential interest.

I'm interested in the Natwest e-Isa as well. Does anyone know how you can move money in and out of the account once it is opened? Can you do bank transfers to/from other (non-Natwest) accounts or must it be via the Natwest non-ISA account that you have to open?

I couldn't find this information on their web site.
