Hi all. I wanted to set up an ISA with Oak North and transfer ISA. I downloaded app and got to a stage where it said that I had to go to website to set up ISA. I went to the website, but there is no way to register for one. There is simply a 'register for online banking' where you need an account number of which would be set up already in the bank. Am I missing something? Anyone else tried this?

Do I need to set up a current account, then register for online banking, then get access to set up and transfer ISA.

Thank you. I am usually pretty tech savvy when it comes to these things, but this has me stumped  :)

    Did you get to Retail Journey - OakNorth Bank plc ?  I haven't gone beyond that page but it seems the likely route....

    I did get to that page but there was no option to set up ISA. These were the only options. Am I missing something?

    Try again tomorrow or next week, or elsewhere if you want to beat tonight's deadline?
    ISA applications for the 2023/24 tax year are now closed. If you’re looking to top up an existing ISA, electronic payments must reach your account by 6pm on Friday 5th April, and cheque payments by Thursday 4th April. Any money received after the cut-off will be put towards your 2024/25 ISA allowance. We will re-open applications in the new tax year.
