IF - how long?

I was accepted for a bank account with IF last Friday night with a £700 overdraft (I requested £500 but hey-ho). How long does it normally take for the forms to come through in the post and how long does it take for the cards etc to come out after that?

    My experience is that things happen very quickly - normally the forms come through within 2 or 3 working days...

    So far, and IF have been one of the best banks I've ever dealt with - punctual and accommodating!

    I have found them to be very quick too. Call them up if you haven't heard anything, their call center staff are well trained and very helpful.

    A couple of weeks ago I applied for a new product and when I had not heard anything I called them up to find they had made a mistake which was soon corrected.

    I had my IF loan forms 2 days after applying. Had the money in my account 4 working days later :D
