anyone else having problems logging-in to their KE account?

No, and the interest for October on the account that I did'nt touch at all during the "panic" has been paid as usual. I for one would like to thank AD and ING for securing my savings.

Enough of the mr nice guy give them hell I have been chasing KE now ING as I requested transfer on 4 Oct 08 which was actually done on 17 Oct 08 (I realise some poor folk have not yet had their transfers). However, I quite justifiably asked for my interest for this period to be paid for which they have now done but they have paid less than half of what I calculate it to be. So even now they are trying to rip us off even further. I have requested explanation but as usual probably wont even get a reply. There is no advice to how they have calculated this.

Apparently the interest to be paid for the missing transfer period which in my case is from the 8th - 20th is to be processed manually and will take a few days to complete! This is what KE/ING are telling people! So hang on just a little bit longer!

Good luck to all those still waiting! Hope you get closure very soon!

Luckily I withdrew all-but-£100 of my money from Kaupthing just weeks before the crisis due to other reasons.

For the remaining £100, would I be better off trying to get it out ASAP but risk it disappearing into a black hole which could potentially be a lot of hassle? ... or to leave it until the current issues have settled down?

Any advice anyone?

Couldn't agree more.

I see a few more people have received their money congratulations to them :j

Hang in there everyone else, as the list shows your not on your own and I know that during my wait I took solace in that fact.

Most of this chaos has been caused by the frozen transactions that were initiated around the 6-9th October.

I would expect that if you transfered next week you should receive it in the standard time. Don't take my word for it though!

I would BACS it as well, CHAPS transfers have been the worst offenders in this mess.

Thank you EY and ING for keeping us well informed for the last 4 weeks, for posting reassuring messages, that warm the cockles of our hearts, that fill us with improved belief in the banking system and for dealing with individual problems promptly.

I have been so impressed with your service I have decided to keep my money under my mattress.

I am full of emulsion from the heart of my bottom, bye.

I did a BACS transfer last week as a trial and it worked ok
