How to transfer an ISA to another bank or building society
To transfer an ISA from the West Brom:
- First, make sure the other provider accepts transfers in, and check what their transfer process is.
- Obtain and complete the other provider's ISA transfer request form and return it to them - they should give you this as part of the application process.
- You won't need to send anything to us - your new provider will handle the process for you.
Your new ISA provider might need the following details about your West Brom ISA:
Account number: Your eight-digit West Brom account number
Sort code: 40 64 36
