Recent CitiBank Applicant?

Sazere

I've just logged in again and this is the message I get when I try to view my balance:-
I'm sorry. We are having some temporary delays. Please try again later.

Wierd still not working for me, oh well, give up now and try later. Reluctant to change everything over by phone until have been onto online banking and see how it all works and get cards etc activated.

I just got my ID back yesterday, Can someone give me an idea of how long until I find out if I have an account?
It does say 15 days but I thought I would ask how long it took for each of you.

I got my ID Back yesterday (letter dated 4th Jan), i rang them this morning to check the progress and they told me the application had been successful and the account was opened yesterday the 8th Jan, and to expect my Welcome Pack within 5 working days.

Give them a call on 0800 00 88 00 (8am till 8pm, Monday to Friday). And they will let you know the outcome, They were really helpful.:o

Actually about 3 weeks but we did have Christmas and new year to contend with.

For information guys....

I transferred £1500 on Saturday evening via Natwest internet banking and it hit my Citibank account today, so technically 3 working days, bearing in mind paying in cash at Lloyds takes a minimum of 4 working days, if you need tocredit your Citibank account, this might be the way you need to do it.
