  • Hi

    Can anyone tell me if transferring an existing ISA will count as the minimum opening £500 deposit?

    Many thanks

    Yes, that is exactly what I did. The £500 threshold is for the rate anyway, you wont care the account is a lower rate until your funds are transferred
  • I've just opened a cash ISA with Moneybox. They say you can only make immediate transfers in through the app but I tried to do this several times from my RBS account and it would not go.  Had to deposit by telephone banking. Moneybox emailed me to say they would show that payment but any future payments would have to be through the app. I've told them it won't go so just waiting to hear back from them.
