TSB Enhance

typistretired

Thanks for that information I was a bit thrown when I saw that 4+ other banks only ask if you have 3. Decided to try again this afternoon as everything seems to have calmed down and I got a confirmation that I would hear from them in 7 days as they needed to check my application.

I asked that they contact me by email when applying online.
I'll be going away next Wednesday which is 8 days after I applied.
Will they send the answer through the post as I'll be away for a few months and I'm concerned I may not get the any paperwork, pin numbers etc before I leave.

I don't think anyone who has applied online has had an account opened yet. If they have they haven't come back on here to say. I am still awaiting my account details from a couple of weeks ago.

Same here, will be 2 weeks by the weekend...:(

Opening in branch if you have one close to you seems to be the fastest way at present. I went into an old C&G on Monday and walked out with a sort code and account number, internet banking was up and running by the time I got back home

I applied online last Wednesday and everything arrived by today, I can now log on and see my account. I want to apply for another two but someone here mentioned that there maybe a possible cashback in the future for new accounts.

Lucky you, no post from them arrived yet and not a convenient branch nearby, so will just wait. Did you have any accounts with them before?

I received a letter today saying that "unfortunately, due to a technical problem, we have been unable to process your application at this Centre", and if I still wanted to apply, I should visit a Branch.

This letter is dated 11 September, 2 days after my online application, so took over a week to get to me. Strangely they told me on Tuesday in Branch that my online application is still in progress....anyway, I got my account on Tuesday in Branch, so I won't try to figure out further how TSB applications work.

No, I was a new customer. I will open the other two in my local branch.

After applying online, I've now got my opening blurb through the post. Seven working days (plus two weekends) turn around time.

They want to see id, so I have to go into a branch anyway. sigh.
