    I am aware that this is a UK forum. There is no need for that attitude.
    Attitude? I was trying to give you an out as your location says Australia.

    So which HSBC account pays cashback and costs £10/mth?

    Hmmm.... I've seen stuff on here saying how difficult it was. I've applied before my donor account is ready and my main concern now is that it happens too fast. They've accepted that the money I'm paying in is salary, and that it will be coming from another account.

    I applied 4 days ago and have just received a form for a sample signature.

    Speed is nothing to be worried about with HSBC!

    My application was referred but I've had no issue with paying in salary or pension though, bank transfer appears to be fine and I've received the £200 from the switch already.

    I suffered a long delay from account opening to receiving card, pin, Internet access and secure key, that took around two weeks and nearly took me outside the time period for the switch incentive.
