Hi I opened 2 NatWest ISAs 1yr & 2yr fixed on 20th July.
I didn't opt to transfer in immediately but want to do that now.
I've tried to find out how to do it or even if I still can - maybe the transfer window has passed.

I'm wading through the info on this site and from NatWest communications but I'm not finding the info I need.

I just need to know how to transfer in.....
If it's only by form can I put both transfer forms into the same envelope...
How long do I have before the transfer window closes.....

    Advice please, I’ve set up a 2 year ISA with NatWest, no issue doing that. I have some money ready to move into the account in the next two weeks, so far so good.

    I have an ISA with YBS opened and funded last year with only around 4K in it. I’m now thinking should I move it over to NatWest, have I left it too late, should I have done it during my application and if not too late, how do I go about it please as I would imagine time is running out.

  • I don't think you have left it too late .

    I think the transfer form has to be printed off, completed and posted

    I've just looked at my NatWest account and YBS is not listed on the ISA transfer list so yes I would have to print off and post a form, can't use the online form, unfortunately I'm working away from home for a week and can't print the bloody form.

    There is other on the list I am sure -- use that but you need to put in your 10 digit as a reference that should work , I did not put the reference on only the 8 digit acc No and it got rejected then had do fill in paper form . Worth a call to confirm that would work. (YBS said it needed the 10 digit ref.)

    It is between Nationwide and Post office just went through the first few parts of online form filling , maybe it is only there on a fresh application using transfer in option .

    Just filled in an application form today and “Other” was an option on the list of providers to transfer from. The next page I was  able to add Yorkshire.

    Well that's good to know, but I have looked through that list a dozen times and can't find 'other' listed, we are talking NatWest and not RBS?. What I find strange is, why would they say 'if your provider is not listed, download and fill out this form and post it' if you can use other, then that would cover all providers? not saying you are wrong, I just hit a brick wall on this, in fact the other day I have posted the hard copy to the Manchester address and hope I get it sorted in time. Thanks for your reply.
