How do I transfer money from my Halifax ISA to my Halifax Current Account?

This might sound like a very common question, but I'm really confused about transferring money from my Halifax ISA to my normal Halifax Current Account. I'm 18 and I've accidentally gone into my overdraft this month :eek: and I am in desperate need of some money from my ISA to cover the christmas present period! The problem is I don't want my mum to know about me transferring money from my ISA because she gets really angry about these sort of things (which I can understand).
I remember earlier this year I set up a 0% ISA account with Halifax, and the assistant told me that I need to at least keep £1000 in the account in order to transfer money. I have saved up roughly around £1200 since then, so I would really like to withdraw that £200 into my account. Can I add my ISA account online and transfer the money or do I have to go to the bank and withdraw from there? I'm really confused, but need the money as soon as possibile. Any replies and I will be truly greatful. Thank you!

Hello Sam and welcome to the boards.
Yes you can add your ISA to your online banking.
Its easy peasy and instant to transfer funds from one account to the other and like I say, its instant.
I use it all the time to transfer from my current account into my ISA and savings accounts.
Paying bills or being the 'bank of mum and dad' takes 3 days.
By the way, if this is the first time you have gone into overdraft, ring them up and ask them nicely,
tell them you wont do it again and could you have your money back, sometimes they are very lenient with a
first offence. Good luck and let us know how you get on.make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.

Thank you so much for the response McKneff. What documents do I need to set up my ISA online? Thank you!0

There should be something on line which says (when you get into your internet banking) 'add an account'
all you need is your ISA account number, and follow the instructions, it really is as simple as that.
Good luck sweetheart. (youre the same age as my grandson Jack, so I already have a soft spot for you lol

Go to your on-line banking, select "preferences", then "add an account" and follow the instructions.0
