Um... just a little worried.

I have a cash ISA with a fixed interest rate that matured today. I previously told the bank that they should transfer the money into another ISA on maturity. Looking at the back today, the Fixed rate ISA now has a balance of £0.00 and there is no more money in the other ISA. There was over £21K in it.

Is it normal for a transfer between ISA accounts with the same bank to not be instant?

I'll look again tomorrow, and if hasn't appeared in the new ISA then I'll probably visit the bank.

    As both accounts are with the same bank, I would expect it to appear by the next working day rather than take a conventional ISA-transfer timescale. Check the transaction history or messages for a maturity transfer reference. If it is still missing tomorrow, contact the bank and ask them to trace the maturity proceeds.

    The other thing that is worrying me is that I can still look at the transactions for the fixed ISA and a lot of transactions have disappeared way back to September last year, over £1K.

    Which bank - can you say?

    Also, what kind of transactions have "disappeared"? Credits? Debits? Did you make these transactions? I assume its the record of the transactions you can't see (versus the money disappearing).

    Lloyds Bank.

    Credits… monthly payments in and Interest payments. I can't see any transactions since the end of September last year.

    I don't know Lloyds systems. Perhaps you can't see transactions on-line when account is closed and the closing statement has been generated for example. Can you see any statements on-line? Is your new account showing today?

    Have you tried asking Lloyds?

    Don't know about Lloyds, but my First Direct ISA went into limbo for a few days when I transferred within FD. I phoned and was assured "It's normal" and it did sort itself. ISAs seem to have their own quirks depending on the supplier so i wouldn't worry over much

    I spoke with Lloyds thru their webchat system and was told it would take 15 days to complete the transfer. However, I looked at the bank this morning and it has all appeared in the new ISA.

    Panic over… phew!
