Cooperative bank account - have I been accepted?

Options
I have been living outside the UK for almost three years.

I'm now back in the UK and not yet on the electoral roll. Last week I applied online for a current bank account with Cooperative bank.

After applying they sent me a generic email. I haven't heard anything since. It has now been a week. Does this mean I have not been accepted?

If I don't hear,do I call them or apply for another account?

Does anyone recommend any bank accounts? :cool:

    If you ring them they will let your know the fate of your application.
