I applied online on Thursday, and the account is showing when I log in to online banking. However, I am assuming that I will receive further info in the post re: account no. etc so I can set up a standing order. Does anyone know how long it takes?

I opened mine last week and received a card with the details after a few days. It appeared on my online banking as well and I can do instant transfers from my nationwide current account.

addendum: phoned up nationwide and they told me that it can take up to five days for the account to show up in your online banking in certain circumstances. very helpful lady suugested i pop into the high street branch and transfer money into the account at the till. which i have done - £250 maximum and will shove another £250 in feb. yipee, i am rich beyond my wildest dreams!:rolleyes: don't worry - something in the water today...:)

I've got my card now

I got my card yesterday. I am hoping that there will be some sort of "Welcome" letter that makes it clear what info I need to give my bank to set up a standing order (I find BS account no.s/sort codes a bit confusing!)

I received no further letter (or a PIN yet). However the details are on the card, at the bottom. The sort code is 07-00-30 (on the left hand side), and the account number is the 8 digit number in the middle section. You will then need to specify the account name, also on the card.

The YBS maximum limit was, I remember, around 3 years worth of contributions (£18k). I remember it being somewhere around £20k, certainly not £300k

Just wonder, has anyone yet had it trickle to Microsoft Money downloads?

I thought it was because you have to wait a day for transactions to appear on MS money but it ain't downloading yet.

Thanks for the warning StuSter - I'll get on with it! (Just got to decide what to do with my Bonus Saver now - close and transfer balance to Icesave, methinks.)
