Yorkshire ISA - where do I find sort code etc.?

talksalot81

I set up an E-ISA a couple of weeks ago, I did a 'transfer in' to start the account and my existing provider has already confirmed that funds have been sent. As yet I have heard nothing from yorkshire and my online page has not yet shown my transferred funds.

More importantly, I have this year's allowance burning a hole in my pocket. I would like to pay it in but all the details I have are my account and customer numbers - I was rather hoping for a sort code and account number so I can set the E-ISA as a payee in my existing online banking.

Should I be expecting these details in the mail sometime soon or am I missing something?

Thanks

You'll receive a welcome letter containing...

Your Customer Number................xxxxxxxxxx
Your Account Number.................xxxxxxxxxx

For transfers into your account, please use the following details:

Bank Sort Code.........................60-92-04
..............................................(Nat West Head Office Collection Account)
Account Number (first 8 digits of your A/C number)...xxxxxxxx
Reference (your full account number)......................xxxxxxxxxx

You should wait for this letter because YBS have a nasty habit of bouncing payments back to the source account if they're not ready for you to send the money (I speak from experience, although not with their ISA).

Can't help you I'm afraid, as I opened my YBS ISA with a 'transfer in' from Halifax.

However, if you're asking about paying in cash (for the current years subscription) then I never, ever, send large amounts as an initial transaction. I always send a £1 first to 'test the conduit', before committing to large transfers.
