Which you have to send your indentifications, how long does it take for them to process your applications and to get your bank account open and get your cards, i need to put money in quick thanks for your help;)

Some banks have got this down to a fine art - others are cr*p! Which bank are you talking about?

Need to put my money into a bank, recently closed my barclay bank so need one urgently.

Well in my experience Halifax are pretty efficient. Can't comment on Natwest, no dealings. As long as all the requested docs were presented, you shouldn't have any unscheduled delays, but Xmas hols and New Year knock out 'working days' and you've got to take out w/ends + don't know how much delay Royal Mail will add because of hols,etc. too. Why no give them a call and see what point it's at?

Why didn't you open one before closing your Barclays account?

rdhumifjd

They said to close it would take 14days but when i last checked on the 5th day it had been closed , i already withdrawed over 10,000pound . I can't keep it at home plus my wages for 3,250pound for the week has come and i need to cash it but do not have a bank account so need to sign up quicker.

Are you for real?

Under your mattress seems the safest place.

I can't understand why you'd close one account before another one was open first! Strange...
