Has anyone got one of these?

I'm thinking of opening one but can't see anything that says I have to pay my salary into it - anyone know if there is a minimum monthly deposit? I only want it so I can use online banking to see my ISA.
TIA

Am planning to do the same... it's ridiculous that Barclays won't let ISA customers see their account online unless they have a current account with them.
To meet the "salary credit" requirment I'm transferring my salary to them for 3 months, then I'm going to transfer it back to nationwide!!
No minimum monthly deposit AFAIK, just you need to credit your salary at the start...0 -
For three months?

Yes, just so I meet the conditions for opening the account... then I'm free to have my salary paid wherever I like!
(Unless Barclays have secret police that will hunt me down and force me to pay my salary in or close the account... which I hope isn't the case, but based on that BBC documentary I wouldn't be surprised!)0 -
You don't actually have to pay your salary in, just stick a few quid in every now and again then move it out using online banking. So long as there's *some* movement, it won't matter.Amazon sellers club - member number 63.
