    Does anybody know if this account comes with a card?


    Yes it does. I was asked if I wanted a card with it.

    Yes to both questions. Im a Santander customer, savings and current account. I opened a direct Isa on Monday and transferred my Halifax isa to fund it.
    How long before you got the forms & such?

    I think it was Thursday when i applied for their 1yr fixed & (yes i appreciate we've had the weekend) i've had nothing - nothing showing in my online account, no forms via email or any of that. Maybe it'll happen tomorrow.

    Yes. You will have to complete two isa transfer forms with santander. It will be ok as long as both forms reach santander within 14 days of you opening the account.

    From personal experience transferring an isa account took 2 months for the money to reach my new isa account.

    I was told by Satantander that if you get the transfer form stamped in a branch, they will pay the interest from the date they stamped the request form.

    Don't trust what they told me - take your form to the branch and have them confirm it
