    They've said that their internet banking is getting overhauled in September, but haven't released any further details yet. It'll be interesting to see how that pans out.

    They have been saying that for ages and keeps getting put back.

    why did you call to activate account or have to confirm any of them details? When i opened my account 2 months ago i did not have to do any of these things. i got the card, account and online info in post and just started using it all. i called a few days later to confirm when i would get the signing bonus and setup the 6% reg. account and was on the phone less than 15min.
