B Bank Opening Query

Like a few people on here I applied for the B Bank account for the lovely £250 bonus.

It is still not open. My query is will I have been accepted? I have been told by them that the account is under review and they are back logged yet have received emails stating that my overdraft request has been approved.

Thanks, Simon

    Sounds promising to me but as binaryuniverse says, they are the only people who can confirm it for certain.

    Other posters who have an account with them may be along to let you know how the process was for them, but I'm afraid I'm not a B customer.

    Hence the "Will I have"

    No point commenting was there. There customer services line was busy when I rang them and as I work a lot I couldn't call again until tomorrow so thought I would ask some people on here.

  • I'm not trying to be antagonistic. The best you can get here is a 'maybe' or 'sounds like'. You won't get a definite answer, which what you need.

    No, we do not know but... if your application was made before the deal was pulled on October 31st then you have a good chance as they were honouring prior applications.
    I suspect they are still utterly snowed under.
    The following number is applicable for Yorkshire Bank (the everyday number) I wonder if they will be able to help you- 0800 456 1247- maybe worth a try

    You aren't wrong.

    Also, in the B app 08001217365 is listed as a number to call at anytime. Call now. They are the only ones who can give you a meaningful answer.
