tesco internet saver application

byter

Hiya everyone

Anyone could let me know how long they have had to wait for a new tesco internet saver to open?

I made the mistake to use a tesco prepaid envelope instead of my own recorded mail so I dont know if my application was received.

I sent my application about 2 weeks ago and when i called them up today they said the account is still pending and isnt possible for helpdesk to find out if the application was received. I am planning to wait a couple more weeks and then get them to re-send another form.

Could be the huge amount of applications waiting to be processed causing the delay....

to get the tesco internet account up and withdrawals possible you have to -

• apply online
• wait
• recieve your application pack and r85 form which you can not fill in as your do not have an account number yet (for gross interest),
• send your ID off, signed form and cheque
• wait
• get your account details through the post. send you r85 from off (for gross interest),
• sign up to tesco internet banking online (step 1)
• post your signiture off again
• wait
• get the remaining details through for the internet banking
• fully sign on to internet banking (step 2)
• then appy for a card reader, card and PIN in order to withdraw any of your money
• wait
• recieve the above

From the start to waiting for the card reader it has taken me about 5 weeks at the moment, but I'm sure I've read on here about it taking 3 - 4 months for some people from start to finish.

That's a nice summary. I'm stuck at step 5 of 14, and it's been about 4 weeks so far.

I nkow someone who took about 6 weeks from start to actually getting account opened.
That was before christmas.
I applied after christmas and haven't heard anything so assuming they are overwhelmed with applications
