This is to ensure you only transfer money into the account once you have received your debit card, once activated you will see your full account details online and be able to transact normally.

The debit card shows the sort code and account number, if you didn't have it some other way already. You, or someone else, can therefore transfer money into the account. It wouldn't be a wise move to that, though.

Well done folks.

You have given Tesco loads of details to apply to their accounts.

Hopefully !! no-one from Tesco reads these

I'm still confused, presumably I need to register for on line banking. To do this requires a sort code and account number, I've just been through it again. This is the first page copy and pasted.

Andromodean,


If you have received a debit card for your current account the sort code and account number should be on the card at the bottom in the following format.


40-XX-XX 12345678

I don't know what you are doing different - but no it doesn't require sort code and account number.
I applied for a Tesco account early last week.
I received the confirmation email the following day, stating the debit card would follow in a few days, and also a link inviting me to set up online banking. This I did - no account details asked or given.
Monday the PIN arrived, Tuesday the card arrived, logged on and could see the account. Logged on to the lower interest account elsewhere and transferred money in, job done.
- easy process
- all comms very clear
- rapid setup
- good online banking interface

What's not to like?
- that I was too slow to open a second account !

Looks like Tesco follow different comms though.

I applied last Friday. On screen a successful message.
Text confirming account set up Sun.
Temp online banking security pin in post Wed.
Debit card pin in post Thurs.
Wecolme pack today in post with account numbers.

Hopefully andromedean has located account details on debit card now & can set up online banking.

I've finally got into online banking after spending about an hour on the phone with 3 assistants. Part of the problem seemed to be that it had recorded a different date of birth, although that doesn't explain why they didn't send me a welcome pack or why I received a four digit security number rather than a six digit one (as well as a four digit number for the card). I think it was further complicated due to the fact that the on-line banking system had retained some details from an old Tesco Credit card account I had closed.

Set up internet banking today very impressed so far with Tesco , very quick and easy transfered my first £100 from HSBC no problems all items required have been received in less than 2 weeks.
Bearing in mind the current account offer has been so popular that they have had to suspend it i'm so impressed with Tesco i'm considering moving my current account and savings account and my credit card from HSBC to Tesco been with HSBC since it was Midland almost 30 years, and cant remember why i pay them £10 pm for my current account :sad:

Which type of account do you have with HSBC? None of their main ones now charge a fee - the one which does has very few customers afaik
