Please note, you can't apply online to transfer an existing Cash ISA into a new Flexible ISA if you are not adding new money as part of this year's ISA subscription. However, you will be able to manage your account online once it has been opened. If you are a new customer, you should wait to receive your new ISA account number from us before registering for our Online Service. Your account number will be sent to you once the transfer has been completed and your new account opened. If you already use our Online Service, you do not need to register again to view the account once it has been opened.
To transfer your existing Cash ISA to the Family Building Society, you will need to complete and send us both a Flexible ISA Application Form AND a Cash ISA Transfer Authority Form. We will then notify your current ISA provider so that the transfer can begin in line with their terms and conditions. The process can take up to 15 working days from receipt of an application form and transfer request form to the new account being opened. It varies depending on the speed with which your existing ISA manager responds to our request.
