ISA & LISA transfers

How long does a transfer out take?

This can vary between transfers, however once we receive the request from your provider, we double check all the details of the request and perform a bank verification check. Once this is done, the transfer process itself typically takes from 1-3 weeks to complete. For ‘in-specie’ transfers out from investment accounts, this process typically takes longer – see ‘What is an in-specie transfer?’ for more information.
