Halifax Cash ISA - Sending Time

Plxply

Thanks for your help everyone,

I phoned them and it appears as though there was a problem with the online banking which meant my application didn't go through. As such I've opened an account over the phone and it should hopefully go well this time. Thanks again.

Yet another problem seems to have arisen on Saturday (26th of February) I went into a Halifax branch and handed over my identification, proof of address and signed ISA terms. However it seems that my account is still showing as "action required" as the person who was handling my ISA forms was in fact that branch manager I assume that he will have done everything correctly. I called Halifax on the Tuesday (1st of March) as I was told that it should be done by Monday, they said I should wait a further day however it seems that the account still hasn't been fully activated.

Does it normally take this long for the account to become fully activated? Also I've noticed that Halifax has now introduced a 3% AER Cash ISA would it be easy to transfer to this when I have fully activated the account?

Don't worry, it appears as though the branch manager was incompetent and in fact did not send off all of the required information. I shall drop the letter off tomorrow before college and hopefully everything will be fine within a week or so.
