Comms are pretty poor from Nationwide in my opinion.  I opened the account and requested two ISA transfers.  £62k was taken from my old provider number 1 two weeks ago and I heard nothing specific about this from Nationwide (and nothing has appeared in online banking).

When I called them they confirmed they have the money but the account will only be visible to me once the second ISA transfer has completed.

Just wondering of course how many people are applying for this product which may explain the delays. While they may have 16 million members how many of them have £10k in a cash isa ready to transfer?

Also worth considering they have a flexible triple access ISA, while the rate may not be outstanding if you've got a cash ISA which isn't flexible you can transfer to the triple access ISA move the money to a non-ISA with a higher rate and still have the option of returning it to an ISA before the end of the tax year, depending on various circumstances.

Has this already been withdrawn even before they send out the form? It is not listed at Browse our savings accounts | Nationwide and the info page is now showing "Not found": https://www.nationwide.co.uk/products/savings/member-exclusive-fixed-rate-isa

I've not been very complementary about Nationwide in recent times but have to say my ISA transfer from Charter to Nationwide went very smoothly and on time. Well done both.

Anyone else who applied on April 2nd still waiting for progress on their transfer in?

My provider was on their 'electronic' approved list.  I read someone in a similar position had theirs sorted within 8-9 days.

Not yet seen any movement on my external account either.

I know there was the Easter weekend, but should I start to worry?

Nice of Nationwide to warn members yesterday to "act today", while I await the transfer pack requested over a week ago!

Yes - the product has been withdrawn to new applicants as of yesterday. Not sure if they will make exceptions for those who requested transfer packs - but I doubt it unless you did so as part of your application for the product.

No harm asking them anyway!

Thanks. I received the form over the weekend. It contains the leaflet for this product. So I'll risk to send the application back. 

Anyone know where to send the application form to, or do you have to visit a local branch?

Thanks. Read the leaflet again and it says in "How to apply" section that you can only apply online or at a branch. So I posted the form to my local branch.

Looks like my transfer has gone through.
Has anyone got any thoughts on the best account to open for the £50 bonus?
