Transfer to the UK's #1 investment and savings platform
No set up or transfer fees from HL

Thousands of investment options
Important Information – Before transferring check for exit fees and ensure you won’t lose any valuable guarantees or benefits. Our service is designed for people who want to make their own investment decisions. Unlike cash, the value of investments can go down as well as up, so it’s possible to get back less than you invest. This is not personal advice. Ask for financial advice if you're not sure whether transferring is right for you.

How to transfer your investments and savings to HL
Once you’ve decided you want to transfer to us, you’ll usually just need to complete a simple online form – it only takes minutes. You'll need the name of your current provider and account or reference number.
You don't need to tell your current provider you're transferring - we'll do that for you.
Depending on what you're transferring and which HL account you're moving to, you'll be able to choose your investments during the application – or you can wait until your transfer is complete to make your decisions.
Just remember not to change your investments while your transfer is in progress, or this could cause a delay.
Once we’ve got your transfer details, we'll work with your current provider to complete the transfer to HL. Most transfers take two to six weeks. We’ll keep you updated along the way and contact you if we need anything.

Yes. When transferring to HL, you'll usually have two options:
Transfer as stock: Your investments are moved to HL without being sold, so you stay invested throughout the process.
Transfer as cash: Your investments are sold, and the resulting cash is transferred to HL. You can then choose how to reinvest the money once it arrives.
