No that sounds like a long time. How far did you get in the process? What was the last thing they asked you to do?“I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled.” - P.G. Wodehouse0

If any of the process involves receiving anything in the post, remember there are a series of postal strikes up and down the country - on various dates.
These have seriously delayed a recent application of mine.0 -
My new Egg savings account was opened within minutes online yesterday but I am already a customer, so no ID issues, etc.0

I wasnt an Egg customer. I opened an Egg isa one day, online, then the next day decided to open a savings account too and did it online with no problem and able to deposit straight away.“A budget is telling your money where to go instead of wondering where it went.” - Dave Ramsey0

Hve you tried logging in? I set one up a couple of weeks ago and,never having had an Egg account before, was expectig an ID in the post (as with other banks). When it didn't turn up after 2 weeks , I tried logging in - no user ID needed only basic details and the account had been set up - just no one told me!
I have had no communication at all from Egg - but the accout appears to be working fine.0 -
I set up an online savings account on 4th Sept...I wasn't an existing customer so they said they had to do a few ID checks before the account became fully operational. Three days later they sent me an email to say the account was up and running.Val.0

As I'm a new "Eggie" -did a few test transactions. 1 cheque and 2 FP from different accs -very unimpressed with their informative (not) statements

I cant really complain. I was new to EGG and few weeks ago I opened a saving account. Didnt have any problems with opening, it took me only few minutes. The next day I did my first transaction....:j0

About 10 minutes online! Did they request extra identification docs etc. by post?
If they did it does seem a long time in spite of postal delays.
Have you contacted them to ask why?0
