Thanks, LazyDaisy

I went for chaps transfer after I spoke to Newcastle BS people and barclays and confirmed the reason barclays system didnt like the CHAPS transfer is because it goes to a holding account.

So hopefully my cash should all be there by close of play today.

They confirm they will accept all funding (online cheque chaps etc) including top ups - but the funds must actually be in the account by the close on 24th July.

poss repeat post.
I applied for the Newcastle 5 year ISA at approx 2.10pm today 15th.
I got through the application and received a reference number. I now need to send in by post the Customer Acceptance ISA Transfer Form (I am transferring from
Abbey Direct ISA).
Does the reference number mean I can go ahead and send the form for
transferring the money
thanks
