    Thanks for that> Just applied for two accounts one for my wife and one for me. Only 'issue', had to send both cheques drawn on the same joint account so hope that is not a problem.


    Doh! Why didn't I think of that?! Many thanks for posting this, just applied for an account in hubby's name with different cheque account.

    cheers :beer:

    Just got an 'Open Account Email' from ING Direct and it states
    '...In order to complete the account opening process, please send us the following:

    1. A cheque for at least £1. This should be made payable to yourself (the name must be exactly the same as the one given on your application) from the account you have designated as your linked account. Please write your ING Direct Customer Number and Account Number on the back of the cheque. If you are opening a joint account we will need a separate cheque from both of you, one from each linked account. If you have selected a joint current account as your linked account we only require one cheque made payable to both account holders.'

    So doesn't sound like you can send a cheque on behalf of anyone else (guess thats the point of saying you need a current account with a chequebook).

    thankyou have just taken this offer up. It says the account needs to be funded by 31st March, does this include the £1 to activate the account? Or do you need to pay in an additional deposit?

    Also, do you think it will work for 2 people at the same address opening a sole account?

    Just opened 1 for dh and he has to send

    The original or a certified copy of either your latest Inland Revenue notice of coding, tax assessment, or letter confirming the right to benefits or state pension. If you are unable to provide one of these documents, we are also able to accept a certified copy of your passport or driving licence (EU or UK photo-card or full UK paper version). For non UK passport holders, copies must be certified by your bank or embassy official. We are unable to accept pay slips, P45 and P60 documents.


    I dont recall being asked for this and am thinking maybe I didnt read my application properly and can't get it back up to check! Has anyone else been asked for this?

    Hmm it has asked my bf to provide ID and proof of address :( Annoying. But worth it for £20? I think so!

    emweaver, I don't think it asked me to provide this so we ladies are OK, just our annoying men!!

    Think I missed a part. It has asked me to send the cheque off, but I don't have my customer or account number yet?
  • Thanks, just opened an account. That seemed too easy!
