Customer service via chat is ok but not the greatest. I opened the account early April and transferred the minimum 500 of old money in just to secure the account. transfer from Virgin to Moneybox took like 4-5 days so was rather quick.1

Transferring 08 sort code Virgin ISA to Zopa.
Isa transfer accepted by Virgin on day 6
Transfer completed at 19:30 hrs on day 9
Interest credited by Virgin up to and including day 8
Not sure if I've lost a days interest yet, could be faster but smooth enough.

I requested a transfer for my 08 sort code Virgin ISA to Zopa on the 3rd May. Have heard zilch from either party so far.

I messaged them to ask them if there was any progress and they replied within a couple of hours. Heard nothing apart from that. I've got my days mixed up. I requested on the 29'th April, transfer complete on 13'th May. You are 4 days after me if all goes the same.SirHugo said:

I opened one of these a couple of hours ago, and I've already encountered a couple of oddities with this, one quite perplexing. My first name for official documents is obviously my given name, however, I always go by a family "pet" name, quite different from my given name. I had to go on a live chat to query something, and they've picked up, somehow or other, on my pet name! I haven't mentioned it anywhere during the application process and it's not on any documents I uploaded. I'm worried now.doodlector said:Trading 212 Cash ISA is now open.

The other issue is that I'm trying to arrange a transfer in from YBS, and they'll only permit sort code and account number, and the last time I used those (to somewhere else), the transfer in failed until I used the roll number instead. Not very promising start, as I can't get any sense out of CS.

Can’t seem to deposit using debit card either (which you can with the S&S one up to £2k), they either want to open banking or want your account and sort code0
