    Any advice on the following would be greatly appreciated!

    I have very recently opened and deposited new money into the exclusive Virgin Money easy access ISA, and I am very grateful to be able to have money in this account at the moment. However, if before the end of this tax year Virgin Money release a Fixed Rate ISA that has a high enough interest rate over the right length of time to seriously tempt me into saving into it, would it be possible for me to transfer the whole of my new easy access ISA money into this chosen V M Fixed Rate ISA, please? Also does anyone know whether, if such a transfer is permitted, the exclusive easy access ISA would be closed as part of the internal transfer or whether it would remain open with a zero balance, please?
    I did this. It took over 6 wks though and the exclusive easy access ISA was closed with accrued interest also transferring across.
    Thank you very much also! Essentially this is just what I needed to know! One final question if you don’t mind, please:

    Did you have to phone Virgin Money to arrange the transfer from the easy access ISA to the fixed ISA or could you ask for this to happen using either V M’s internet banking or the app? I’d be very grateful to hear about how Virgin Money presently handle this request!
