    Looks like there are people who have transferred a Kent Reliance ISA to Santander recently.
    I'm looking to do that - could I just double check that Kent Reliance don't appear to feature on the drop down online list on Santander website ? So it's a case of printing off the ISA transfer form, filling it in..posting it to Santander. Old School !
    Just wanted to double check - thanks.

    Unless they're listed under an alternative name, then no - Kent Reliance aren't on the drop-down list of providers that Santander accepts electronic transfers from.

    You can check for yourself by clicking the red 'Transfer ISA in' button on this page : https://www.santander.co.uk/personal/support/savings-and-investments/ISA-transfers

    I transferred in to a Santander fixed rate ISA last year from a provider who also wasn't on the list and did exactly as you described.

    As posted on another thread.  Completed Santander’s online application to xfer from Virgin Money into 2 new Santander FRISAs on 6th April. 1st left VM 12th & credited today. 2nd left VM this pm so expect it to credit tomorrow. 
    Considering the long Easter weekend, remarkably speedy.

    Transferring from Halifax to Santander took less than 3 days for me - definitely one of the quickest I've experienced...

    Weds evening - submitted transfer request online 
    Thurs afternoon - transfer request acknowledged by Halifax
    Fri - Halifax account closed
    Sat morning - funds appeared in Santander account

    Santander submitted my transfer request to Barclays on 29/3. Two and a half weeks later and I haven’t heard anything more. I did a transfer from Barclays to Moneybox a couple months ago and that only took a couple days

    I made an application to transfer from Marcus to Santander on April 1st.......today, April 15th......nothing has happened.

    I guess it depends wether it's a paper or electronic transfer process being used. I am not impressed so far.

    From a few months ago though. I was looking for a more recent experience of the ISA transfer experience (given, unfortunately with KR is a paper based transfer to Santander and not online).
