Funding your account

The easiest way to fund your savings account is by making a bank transfer. This should be made from your nominated account, using the Sort Code 60-84-08 and your Daven Trust account number (which you will find on your welcome letter and on the Self Service Portal), and your full name as the payee.

Transfer your existing Cash ISAs
You can transfer your existing Cash ISAs into our Fixed Rate Cash ISA and Fixed Rate e-Cash ISA accounts. Transferring is simple, read on to find out more.

Fixed Rate e-Saver and Fixed Rate e-Cash ISA accounts

Fixed Rate e-Saver and Fixed Rate e-Cash ISA accounts can be funded by transfer from your nominated account, or from an existing eligible Daven Trust account via the Self Service Portal. If transferring from your nominated account you should use Sort Code 60-84-08, your Daven Trust account number (which you will find on your welcome letter and on the Self Service Portal), and your full name as the payee. Fixed Rate e-Cash ISAs can also be funded by transferring existing Cash ISAs held with other providers.

Transfer an ISA in from another provider

To transfer funds from an ISA with another provider, complete an ISA Transfer Form, available to download from the Documents page, and return it to us. We will contact the other fund manager and arrange the transfer to your Daven Trust account.

Accounts can be opened by a Power of Attorney on behalf of another person. The application should be made in the donor’s name, and the attorney should then contact us to provide the relevant legal documentation (if a first account is being opened), or to have the previously submitted documentation applied to the new account (if accounts have been opened with us previously).
