Transfer Your ISA to The Co-operative Investments

If you have Cash ISAs or stocks and shares ISAs with other providers, you can transfer them to Co-operative Investments. We will make arrangements with your existing provider to transfer your ISA into one of our stocks and shares ISAs. All you need to do is give us your instructions by following the 4 steps below.

1. Choose the ISA funds from Co-operative Investments and read the Important Information (PDF - 0.9Mb).

2. Download the transfer request form, print and complete for each ISA you are transferring. This is your instruction to transfer ISAs from other providers to us. If you want to transfer ISAs held with more than one provider, you need to fill out a separate form for each provider.

3. Download the application form (PDF – 0.1Mb), print and complete. This is your instruction to tell us how you want to invest your ISA with us. You can either enter an exact amount to invest or enter a percentage of the total amount transferred for each fund you choose (making sure that the total adds up to 100%).

4. Finally post us the Stocks and shares ISA application form along with your transfer request forms, using the freepost address below and we will do the rest.
