9 working days is how long it took citi to process and approve my application! (access acount) I received my shiny new visa debit card this morning, activated it, registered for online banking and am now waiting for a cheque book & paying in book to arrive - 100% happy with everything so far ... can't wait to use the card, I'll need to add some funds to my account first :dance:
Thank you to all for the amazing posts I've read and been encouraged by - if you're in the process of applying or waiting for a decision best of luck to you!

thankyou from all of us, and welcome to the club, finally a satisfied customer, is your card a 3in1 card, or do you just get a cheque book anyway, as I thought you didn't get a cheque book with that account, and yes I was alittle bit "should I use it shouldn't I" when I first used it, but it went without a hitch, and I didn't have to look for an ATM,

Thank you for the welcome CW - the card is 2 in 1 .. the cheque book needs to be requested with the access acount - no cheque guarantee available which is okay - I just need it for paying ebayers who don't accept paypal :cool:

Hi when I applied for citi back in january I also applied to halifax, which I got accepted for, so I am using that account as a savings account from what I make on quidco, but I have also registered this card with paypal as it wouldn't accept my citi card at that time, I think someone said you need to have funds in the account for it to accept the citi card,
all the best with your account, I love mine, and the card,

I have lost touch with this thread since wandering over to the Matched Betting forum a month or so ago and have been there ever since!

Just a quick question for Tori and/or cw (or anyone really!) Could you please give me a quick update about changing over to the other account before the £10 charge comes into affect. I seem to remember some talk of losing the visa debit card once it expired???

Ps This card has been invaluable for doing the MB'ing deals and the Internet Banking is fine once you get used to it!

Hi Ella, Marcellep & CW have answered the account switching question but just so you know the charge comes into effect from the 1st April however it will not be debited until the end of April ..

EDIT - CW already beat me to it ...
