Please ask at the counter to book your appointment". 20 people in queue in front of me and no appointments until after Easter!! Have I still got time to do this online?

    Yes, you can complete the application on-line, but it must then be printed and sent to Barclays Freepost address given on the form, but ONLY if you are already a Barclays account holder. If not then you will have to do it in branch and you'll need to take proof of name+address. (driving licience/passport)

    PS. There is a seperate board for ISA's !

    No need to aplogise, just mentioned it as if you have anything else you need to know about ISA's you'll get a far better response from that board. There is some very useful info there.
