The lowdown on ISA transfers
- Keep it tax-free
Transferring your ISA directly to another keeps it tax-free and doesn't affect your annual ISA allowance. If you were to put it in an account that isn't an ISA, you'd pay tax on your interest.
- Bank the best deal
You can transfer between different Virgin Money ISAs or move an ISA from another provider to us. You're in control - you can request a full or partial transfer of your cash.
- It's easy to get started
Before you transfer you must open the ISA you want to transfer into. Give us all the details of the ISA you're transferring from and to. Sit back and relax as we'll take care of the rest.

If your account is a Fixed Rate Cash ISA with a sort code beginning 08, you have 30 days from the day you open the account to both add money and send your ISA transfer form to us. Any deposits received after 30 days, may be returned to you.
