From a Nationwide savings account to another Nationwide account
If you want to transfer money from one ISA to another ISA, do not withdraw the money from your ISA or move it to your current account. There's a set process you need to follow to make sure your money keeps its tax-efficient benefits.
To withdraw or transfer money from any other savings account, see our guide to withdrawing money from a savings account.
Between your Nationwide account and an external account
Transferring to an external account
As the account is with another building society or a bank, this will count as paying someone new. You'll need to set up your external account as a new payee.
Transferring to your Nationwide account
If you're looking to move money to your Nationwide account from another building society or a bank, you'll need to follow their instructions for paying someone new and set yourself up as a new payee on your non-Nationwide account.
There may be certain instructions for paying into your ISA, bond or savings account from an external account.
