Once you’ve submitted your transfer details, Team Dodl will take it from there and let you know if there are any hiccups. How long your transfer takes can depend on a few things:
Which account type you’re transferring - pensions can take a bit longer to transfer than ISAs or general investment accounts.
Whether your existing provider uses the same electronic transfer system as Dodl. If they don't, the transfer will usually take a bit longer.
Whether you need to pay any outstanding fees or costs to your existing provider.
Whether you're transferring cash only, or investments too. If you're transferring investments to Dodl, they’ll take longer than transferring just cash.
To give you a rough idea on timings, check out the table below ⌚:
Type of transfer | Time taken |
Cash only | 2-4 weeks (up to 6 if signed form needed) |
Cash and investments | 6-8 weeks |
If you’re transferring an account with both cash and investments, your investments will transfer over first followed by your cash.
