ISA Transfers

ISA transfers are available for both our Fixed Rate e-Cash ISA accounts, and our Fixed Rate Cash ISA accounts.

To transfer funds from an ISA with another provider, you will need to complete the ISA Transfer In section of your application. We will then receive this the next working day and will contact your existing ISA provider to arrange the transfer to your Castle Trust Bank account. Please note that if your current ISA provider does not accept electronic signatures and requires an original signature, we will send a form to you via email and you will be required to return back to us in the post.
