    FlexDirect is probably next on my list to do. Then BOS vantage. Problem starts when vantage goes to wanting direct debits before paying out.

    My FlexDirects 03 & 04 took weeks to open, applications apparently lost in the ether and ignored by Nationwide. Appeared online yesterday and funded with £1k to check they earn 5% interest, which is not 'guaranteed' :(.

    Some of us already need DDs on the Lloyds Vantage. Usually it's not a problem to create yourself the required DDs.

    Yup

    Provided you have the appropriate savings accounts then it's not a problem. Not all do this though.

    PayPal is, or can be your friend. As can minimum credit card payments - but you probably already know that :)

    It's generally a doddle to set some up.
