ISA Transfer process

Hi, Iā€™ve just opened a Cash ISA account, only to be told at the end of the process that T212 have paused transfers. If I had known this before I opened the account, I wouldnā€™t have bothered.

I canā€™t find any information about how long this pause will last - can anyone help with a timescale please?

If there is no timescale available, how do I close the ISA? No point in having an empty account.

Welcome to the Community, @Purplesuperhero :wave:

Incoming Cash ISA transfers were temporarily paused due to the high volume of requests. Thereā€™s no specific timeframe that we can currently provide on when theyā€™ll resume, but the team is working tirelessly on clearing the queue as soon as possible, so we can re-enable the feature.

In case you wish to close your account with us, you can do so via the Settings menu.

Thanks for the reply. It would be helpful if the information about transfers in had been available at the beginning of the account application process, it would have saved a lot of wasted time.

I havenā€™t found anywhere that provides proper clarity, but what is the rule? If I decide to stop using my existing ISA and start a transfer to T212 can I start topping up the T212 ISA as I would now consider it as the ā€œactiveā€ account? Or do I need to make sure the other one is closed first?

It is showing me an option to transfer cash isa to stocks ISA. Could I do that and then internally transfer between trading 212 stocks ISA to Cash ISA?

Jumping on here for a related query. I want to transfer an isa s&s from Halifax to T212. Iā€™m following the steps in portfolio transfer but get stuck on the ā€œassetsā€ screen. I donā€™t know the breakdown of my current assets on my Halifax account . Just have the total number of unit and value.

What do you mean by now knowing the breakdown? You donā€™t know whatā€™s in your account?
