just tried drawing out again wont let me yet, but prob because i opened on a sunday todays probably classed as the first day, will try again in a day or two

just a warning to anyone considering opening, dont put the money first in if you need it back out quick, luckily i dont need the money back out till the end of the month

Do you have an overdraft?

I think you'll find that unless you have one, it won't allow you to transfer all your money out, leaving the balance as zero. Try doing a transfer that leaves at least 1p behind - it should work.

I was told by bank staff that it had to have £1 left in when I asked them to transfer my innitial deposit back to my main account. Try the transfer and leave £1 in.

As others have said, I transferred £1 into each Reward account first, then £1,000 to and from each, leaving a £1 balance - no problem instantly transferring the £1,000 back out via FP.

it wouldnt let me even just draw out a £100 of it

the worrying thing is, i have just signed on now and there is no money in the account, but it has no transactions to show, as if the £500 i paid in has now dissapeared (as of if i never paid it in!) (has been showing up until this am) and now shows nothing in the account and no transactions (in or out)

so am getting worried where my money has gone as its not even showing back in the account i drew it from or the account i tried to pay into when withdrawing!!!!

See my reply to your other post - suggest waiting until their system is sorted out.

Yes, it is OK.
