I must admit the Green one is a bit vile! There was a fellow shopper in the queue and had it ready to pay, so got a glimpse.
The one with the horse was nice though:D

Tuesday and still no phone call or letter and I am getting paranoid and worried. Maybe tomorrow?

Fingers crossed!!

Its now Monday and still no letter or card. I went in to the branch and got my ID checked, the teller said it would take approximately 1 to 3 days for me to receive a confirmation and up to 4 days to receive a card; this was on the Wednesday of last week. I have my preliminary sort code and account number. Should I now phone in?

My understanding with the Cash account is that approval is pretty much a given unless they find data regarding fraud or b/r. If you've got a sort code and account number give the customer services team a call and ask them what stage the account opening process is at.

Just to update everyone on the situation, I phoned in today and the agent has told me my application has been accepted and everything is on the post already; I should be getting letters either tomorrow or next week. So if anyone else is in a similar situation, I guess the best thing to do is wait. Its actually taken nearly 20 days by my reckoning to process. Better late than never I suppose.

Blimey!! You been unlucky with the timings - like i said applied on sunday night online - debit card arrived following sat, with the welcome pack on the friday.

All going well good account - only issue is the Lloyds only ATM's but cashback does mitigate that somewhat.

One way to get over the issue with the Lloyds TSB Cash Machine use only is to Open the Easy Saver Account and request a Cash Card for this. You can then transfer any money via PhoneBank or by Online Banking and withdraw from any Cash Machine you like.

Used to work for me before I was able to upgrade to a full account with Lloyds.
