Yes, you can transfer your Roth IRA to any authorized financial institution. Ensure you do a direct roll-over or reinvest the money within 60 days. The direct roll-over is the best, because you will not have to pay the mandatory 20% tax withholding fee. Contact both companies to see what their rules are for roll-over transfers. You probably will pay a transfer fee to the original company.

How can an individual convert a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA?

Rollover - A distribution from a traditional IRA can be contributed to a Roth IRA within 60 days after distribution. Trustee-to-trustee transfer - The financial institution holding the traditional IRA assets will provide directions on how to transfer those assets to a Roth IRA with another financial institution. Same trustee transfer - As with the trustee-to-trustee transfer, the financial institution holding the traditional IRA assets will provide directions on how to transfer those assets to a Roth IRA. In this case, things should be simpler because the transfer occurs within the same financial institution. Note...A conversion results in taxation of any untaxed amounts in the traditional IRA. I did this, and had to pay the taxes on the money, before it went into a roth. The IRS spread the tax payments over a 4 year period, and was sure to send me a reminder every year at tax time, to make sure I didn't forget!!
