    Now happily back with Barclays.

    With a Cashplus card! So technically still with Coop, lol.

    £4.95 a month? Ouch! One of the banks I use pays me more than that every month.

    Don't you get a debit card with your Barclays account?

    I opened a account with cashplus about 3 weeks ago and wanted to know how long it takes to get the iAdvance onto account?

    i keep checking but nothing so far.

    also how do they make there money as there seems to be no fees only when i signed up for cost of card.

    had no problems so far with it in the last 3 weeks so hope that goes on.

    Iadvance: It depends on your circumstances and credit status. If you have not already choose Creditbuilder as it shows a commitment of 12 months on your part, plus with 12 perfect payments made will help improve the credit situation.

    Never let a Direct Debit fail, or make purchases that may be declined. These count as blemishes on APS account.

    I have been with APS Cashplus since 2007, I have two cards, plus euro and dollar cards. Iadvance does not last forever, and have yet to learn if iadvance length of availability is dependent on size of loan, £10-500. But as repayments are made the amount you can borrow can increase.

    As soon as I was able to borrow £500, it ended on my card, so opened a second...same happened....have not seen iadvance on my card since last November...Despite having over £2000 deposited on my card per month.

    Hope this helps. Enjoy your Cashplus card
