Difficulty transferring out of a Moneybox cash ISA

Options
Following the information on MSE's website I opened an easy access ISA with Moneybox a few months ago but now want to transfer it because interest rate has dropped.  However, the websites for other banks/building societies do not acccept anything from Moneybox.  Has anyone found how to transfer a Moneybox ISA to another provider?  Many thanks for your help.

    I have transferred several with absolutely no problems.

    What you may find is that some of the top paying rates come from digital providers who don't want to deal with paper based transfers and will reject a transfer from a provider that isn't on their digital transfer list.

    The issue isn't moneybox but the receiving scheme.

    The first ISA provider I looked at (Tembo) has Moneybox on it's list of acceptable ISAs.

    "..the websites for other banks/building societies do not acccept anything from Moneybox" is a pretty broad brush, how many other provider's websites have you checked?

    Moneybox is on Tembo's list of accepted ISA providers. Moneybox is often listed as Digital Moneybox Limited on these lists so make sure to check for this name also.


    It follows after this. If you want to check for yourself here is instructions and the list of providers accepted by Tembo
