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 £1.0 -
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).0 -

Same here, the email arrived just after I made that comment so all (so far) OK.0 -
The emails and the confirmation page seem to say differnt things.0

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

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.0
