I took the plunge and went into the Post Office to find out:eek:
I now know where the "Care in the community" patients\immigrants\OAP's go.


Bottom line is the staff are clueless,:eek: they will NOT give out any details as you have to book an appointment with the Financial advisor who will fill the form out with\for you.:eek:
Mine is not available for a week.

So before you waste your time try to get an "interview" or at least the FA email so you can ask Q's

who is, of course, not a financial advisor at all, just a salesperson who will no doubt try and sell you some other BoI stuff whilst they got you in their fangs.

so can you open an account at a branch which is NOT in your town ?
Wonder when the rest of the branches will be rolled out ?

The title is misleading ....
"The Post Office has unveiled a new £100 gift card sign-up bonus for new customers switching to one of its three current accounts"

It is a gift card, Not cash.

Do not know how this gift card looklike. Is it the same with voucher and you need to spend at certain store in limited time ?

Kind off, but the "allowed store list" is pretty comprehensive (thousands of shops) and it lasts for 18 months before incurring a 90p/month charge until the card has a zero balance. I think most people will have spent the contents by then.

Anyone taken the plunge on this?

I'm looking for a new home for my current account banking but the Post Office isnt exactly wowing me at the moment. I think they'll quite possibly stay as a last resort for those who cant get an account with any other mainstream organisation.

Does anyone know if they credit check you if you dont want the overdraft?

Archi_Bald

All current account applications will include a full credit check, whether you are applying for an overdraft or not.

You could still use the account for unauthorised overdrafts, and/or your credit file may contain information that is not acceptable to the current account provider.
