Cash ISA transfer forms - always by post?

107 Posts

Today I posted a paper cash ISA transfer form for a move from Paragon to Sainsbury's.
Do all financial institutions require postal ISA transfer instructions?
It seems strange to rely on paper methods in these days of whizz-bang online and app accounts.

The requirement for postal transfers makes it more difficult to chase the best cash ISA rates.
I hope Sainsburys work out. YBS also requires paper forms by post/branch for isa transfers too - and others.
But online ISA transfers aren't always quick and easy - I did one with a major well known building society last year and the transfer in to them took 8 weeks due to their endless mess ups! I got £50 in compo though - as I complained.
