    Did it contain your customer ID and account number?

    My email did not include the customer ID or account number.

    That information was on the last page of the application form where it said "You have now reached the end of your online application" and asked me to send a cheque off for £1.
  • Brilliant, thanks Martin! Just applied for me and my husband, and both accepted. £40 earnt during breakfast, fantastic!
    Emails have arrived, only asking to send the cheque, no ID required. (emials contained name only, no account details).

    My email had none of the "Send ID" stuff so it looks to me like they do some online ID checking and if the information you enter matches then all you need to send is a cheque for £1.

    Same here, the email arrived just after I made that comment so all (so far) OK.

    Thank you for your recent online application to open an ING Direct account.

    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.

    Once you have your cheque(s) ready, please send it to the following freepost address:

    ING Direct
    FREEPOST NATW1784
    Reading
    Berkshire
    RG6 1BR

    If we have required any original documentation to process your application, we will check it and return it to you promptly. Once your cheque(s) and documents (if applicable) have been received and regulatory checks have been carried out satisfactorily, we will then send you your welcome pack. Once you have activated your PIN and set a memorable date (or in the case of joint accounts, both of you have activated your security details), you will be able to use your account to carry out transactions.

    If you have requested a quarterly online statement for your account, we'll notify you when it's ready for viewing online, via this email address. Otherwise, you will receive your paper statement at the beginning of each quarter.

    Please note that you will not be able to reply to this email, however if you do have any questions, please visit ingdirect.co.uk or call us on 0845 603 8888.

    Thank you for saving with ING Direct.

    Yours sincerely

    Julian Hartley

    Thanks just opened mine. Think I'm gonna use it for the first year as the 3% rate is better than I can get from anywhere else!

    Was your customer number and account number on the email? I was wondering what kind of email everyone else got.


    hi

    No the info was not on the email. It was on the last page of the application form - if I hadn't gone back and read the page again though I would have missed it!

    Hi!
    Thanks for this! :rotfl:

    I just signed up, only got asked to send in a cheque - no proof of ID. Received an email straight away which confirmed that I needed to send the cheque, no personal details other than my title and surname on the email.
