Applying for a Co-Op account

Options
I just applied for a Co-Op account to take advantage of the switching offer, and after the application it said this:
Where no extra information is required a decision will be sent to you by post or email within 5 working days.
Is this normal for Co-Op Bank? Never been referred for an application before.
Credit 'Score' - Don't buy the credit 'score' that Experian, Equifax and Noddle want to sell you. It's an arbitrary number that means nothing when it comes to applying for credit.

ALWAYS HAVE A DIRECT DEBIT SET UP FOR THE MINIMUM PAYMENT ON YOUR CREDIT CARDS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU PLAN TO LOGIN AND PAY EACH MONTH.
