Not everyone wants to get it out in cash. Most people making large withdrawals are likely to want to make transfers out.

But everyone paying money in should really first look at how they could get it back out again shouldn't they? I mean, you wouldn't want "£1000s" locked in would you!


They shouldn't assume YB/CB worked just like their other account did, ie Santander (OTP)...or Halifax (telephone authorisation)...or?...should they?


I was fortunate in that I already had a fully functional YB Current Account Direct, so I just shipped all my "£1000s" out through that account (because I couldn't be bothered creating a new payee* with the token), but had I not had that account I'd have waited for the security token before depositing my "£1000s".


* Even though it was an 'existing' payee on the Current Account Direct!

Lord Balders had his £150 credited to his new account today, about a month or so from the switch date. Just need to transfer my £1000 to and from my new account and twiddle my thumbs for a bit!

YB is 050022; CB is as you say.

My CB is also 050022, and doesn't appear on my YB app.

I have been wondering what it would be. Clydesdale is surprisingly coy about it and Google images is not forthcoming. I have card readers from Nationwide and from Smile so presumably like those.

M&S call it a "Pass", and its the usual calculator thing.

No. More akin to those devices supplied by HSBC and M&S, ie it doesn't read a card.

Got my £150 credited today

Just wondering, when was your switch date?

i found them to be slow in calling back to open the account, and the service in-branch was 'nice but dim'..
but, now in i think it's fine. and, you'll be pleased to know YB---seeing as you are referencing my "£1000s" that my "Token" arrived today--which was 1 working day delivery time--and it's easy to use and all is set up nicely.
:T Yorkshire Bank.
The Token is off-white, slightly bigger than the HSBC ones. it's fine.

True, the HSBC thingy is no use at all on an M&S or FD account. Quite staggeringly amazingly bad these days. Idiots who think they will retain customers with such tactics.

All extremely annoying, and the only reason I keep up with the HSBC and M&S and FD security thingies is their respective 6% monthly savers account.
