i applied on monday morning about 2am ish i was up late, on wednesday i got all my account details and am just waiting on some code they send in the post.

my question however is will my initial deposit of £2000 count as the 1st months funding of the account ie the £500 they require.
also i cannot see it anywhere but is this an introductory 5% offer like nationwide or a long term on going interest rate?

thanks

"We’re giving you 5% AER/4.89% gross variable on balances up to £2,000, the highest interest rate available from a high street bank. Other banks offer high introductory rates, known as ‘teaser rates’, which they take away after their initial period."

both my pin and my activation code arrived today so 5 day turnaround is as good as i've had when opening a new account can't fault TSB one bit very good so far.

Still no online banking PIN so I guess I'll be using my branch appointment on Monday to open a second account (and submit my R85 form).

My application that was pending proof of identity has just been accepted.

Applied Monday morning and took documents to branch Monday afternoon.

System

Has anyone received an activation code or debit card yet?

Well further to my lost TSB accounts since Monday, I rang them on Tuesday and eventually was put through to their IT department for it to be sorted.

However still the same today, can log in but no accounts showing only an error page.

I converted one account on Monday which it did okay and requested a second account, next day no sign of accounts.

Rang again today to be told it is a problem that has occurred with converting Enhance accounts online to Plus accounts.

They apparently have lots of them like this and are doing a "system refresh" over the weekend...
He did say it was caused by an error when existing accounts were opened originally in the branch??

My guess is that if you open new additional accounts it will be okay but converting could cause a problem, I only converted one as it wasn't being used...

You don't need a form with TSB just go into the branch and they do it on the computer.
