    Even if you are bankrupt you can normally get that account.

    It seems to be refered quite often and is then OK, so I wouldn't be overly concerned.

    Hi

    This is usual from what I can gather, I called every couple of days and once they said yes it was very quickly opened at this time of year. I have to say its worth waiting for as its a really great account and the online banking is easy. They were fab when someone tried to fraudulently use my card and they quarrentined the transactions so I wasn't out of pocket, I can't speak highly enough about them.
