I have had to fill in the form with Invest Engine 5+ times. They can't seem to find the Lloyds Bank account. The people working at InvestEngine are amazingly incompetent, not sure I should transfer, lol.

My account number at Lloyds Bank starts with "EL" with 7 digits. It is called "Ready-Made Investment Individual Savings Account (ISA"

InvestEngince dont have the right ISA supplier in their drop down for the account number.

Anyone done a transfer from Lloyds Bank to InvestEngine successfully?

    I haven't got many positive things to say about my InvestEngine experience. If you think transferring in is a hassle wait until you try to transfer out. Their support is very variable and they seem to make stuff up on the spot. They also currently break the HMRC rules by allowing customers to hold fractional ETF shares in an ISA. They claim that they are right and HMRC are wrong:

    I suppose you always have to wonder if investing via these newer very low cost/no cost operators is worth the savings.
    Maybe it is not quite the right MSE attitude, but hassle with dealing with sub performing companies has its cost as well.
