Rapid ISA transfer

I must admit - I'm impressed. Earlier this month I opened an ISA with Vanquis requesting a transfer from a maturing Virgin ISA. That ISA matured today and the transfer had been completed by this evening - I'm not sure when exactly. Just a bit of good news for a change.

    That’s very impressive.

    nice to read good news stories. 

    If anyone wants a swift and fair ISA transfer, avoid chip. 

    They’ve had my money for a week now and still haven’t credited it to me, so they’re earning interest at my expense

    Another rapid transfer from Virgin Money but  to VIDA . Requested transfer to VIDA on Thursday , money posted in my VIDA account on Friday 25th.  Well done VIRGIN MONEY.

    Virgin seem to have improved ISA transfers considerably since my lengthy transfer experience of a couple of years ago.

    Ditto re. Virgin transfer to Shawbrook - I'd requested it to take place on maturity, and it all went through on that date (or the following day, I forgot)

    Sorry to here about your Chip experience.

    But mine wasn't like that. Transfer completed and credited inside two working days.

    Who did you transfer from? 

    It would be good if you added an update when it completes and how the credited date compares to the closure date from your old provider.
