– You will need to choose a provider you’re looking to transfer to 

– You may want to check the fees and where the investments will be invested to ensure these are aligned with your investment goals

– Once you have confirmed the provider you would like to transfer to, you will need to grab the transfer forms from your new provider (please note these may be in digital or printed formats) 

– Please double check the spelling and current information on your Clim8 account to ensure this correlates with your transfer forms

– You will need to send these completed forms to your new provider where these will be processed 

– We will check all the information matches on the transfer forms, and will be in touch should this not match up 

– We will then start the transfer process, and let you know once this has been completed 

You may need to revalidate your bank account when withdrawing from your Clim8 portfolio, this is to ensure that the funds are being sent to the correct account.

The current tax year ends on 05/04/23, Clim8 accounts from 06/04/23 cannot be topped up and your funds will be returned to you if you make any manual payments directly from your bank. 

Your direct debit will be paused to ensure no money is added to your portfolio in the new tax year, you will receive a notification from GoCardless regarding this. If your direct debit is set up to enter your portfolio before the end of this tax year, this will go ahead as normal.

If you would like to cancel your direct debit manually you can do this with your bank or through the Clim8 app.

There are a couple of steps to follow, you will need to choose your provider and complete their transfer forms, your new provider will manage the transfer process for you. You can read more about the transfer process here. 

Due to the expected volume of transfer requests we expect to receive throughout this period, we anticipate that transfers may take up to 45 days for a regular ISA transfer or 12 weeks for an in-specie transfer depending on your new provider. We always aim to process transfers as quickly as possible but if your transfer is taking longer than expected, you may want to follow up with your current provider to check progress. 

To assist with the transfer process all fractional shares and ETFs held in the portfolios will be sold on or after 27/03/23. This is due to a high number of ISA providers not accepting these which delays the transfer process due to the assets being sold and settled which can take up to 10 working days before we can finalise the transfer to the new provider.

While we always work hard on making sure your transfer goes through as quickly as possible, every now and then unforeseen delays can happen. In specie transfers take longer than a regular ISA transfer due to funds requiring manual processing or the new provider not accepting all assets held and therefore some assets in the ISA being liquidated.

– If your new providers send funds via cheque and they don’t opt to send it via recorded delivery (securest method), this can take 3-5 business days to clear.

– Your new provider may also be experiencing a backlog of high inbound or transfer-out requests, which can delay the processing of your transfer

– Your details may not be updated with your new provider and they have to get in touch with you first or ask us to get in touch with you to update your information 

The process of transferring yourself itself is free of charge and we do not charge for supporting your transfer process. You should check if your new provider charges for this process.
