in Budgeting & bank accounts
I have just opened a 2nd Lloyds current account via Internet banking ( For the 4% Interest), just clicked on the existing link and was only asked to confirm my occupation and that was it ! (Very simple), now that was Sunday and its now Wednesday and nothing is showing on Internet banking so how long does it normally take to open / show on Internet banking ? as when I have opened Savings accounts before its instant !.

Thanks.

    It's not a savings account, it's a current account.

    My second & third were available the same day, but I opened them in branch.

    I tried that, waited about a week then got aletter telling me to go to a branch to do it!
    Bizarre really seeing as how fellow MSE'ers were able to do it online.
    Be happy, it's the greatest wealth :)
