If people are interested they can go to photobucket dot com, search for people and search for mart1711 and there i have uploaded a pic of my new Metrobank card incase anyone else is thinking of getting one!!!

Who did they credit check mate? Was it an easy application?

I'm popping down there tomorrow so wanted to know the process. Find it quite interesting that they can print the cards onsite.

Thanks

Are you keeping Barclays? I've closed Abbey and Yorkshire myself.

I didn't realise your Barclay's Bank card was contactless! Have you used it as anywhere which is contactless?

Didn't realise that they could do that. Other Banks should do this at branch level, especially Santander, as they send cards to wrong addresses all the time.

Am closing Barclays & Barclaycard! Still waiting for Santander complaints team to close my accounts!

Barclays contactless works good on the paperstands.....

not sure who they check ill take a look nothin showin on experian yet cant get on equifax atm, apparently each branch will have 2 card making machines at cost of £120,000 each so the manager told me, they were mega helpful gave free gifts. The main thing for me is i have a small contracting firm and get a lot of cheques the opening hours will be great to deposit before/after work etc. Got a credit card at flat rate of 13% too

Do you have a good credit rating? Also what limit did they issue you?

Thanks

Credit is not too bad mate, got £500 o/d and £3000 c/limit. To be honest my only aim was to get the business bank account from them, the regular personal accounts are pretty bog standard to be honest but the business deals are pretty damn good compared to natwest who im currently with. Manager also told me that the bank will be able to send faster payments from sep/oct and that online banking will be up and running next week!!
