Quick account opening

wizzywig27

The OH needs an account opening to do the Natwest switch offer. Can anyone suggest one that provides instant opening (unlike NatWest and their digidocs service) and is easy enough to get.

Thanks

Metro bank used to open your account while you were in branch, if they still do and you're able to get to a branch that could be an option for you. I understand they have recently introduced online opening but I have no idea if that is as quick.

Starling and Monzo will open them immediately on your mobile phone (via their app). Not sure if they subscribe to CASS though better check...

What other accounts do you hold?
When I wanted a donor I applied online for an extra TSB classic a/c- but I already had accounts with them. Generally easiest to use an existing provider

I just opened a TSB classic and punted £1500 into it and saved its details into my spreadsheet. Whole job took 7 mins but we do have chrome autofill.

Thanks for your help guys. She applied for a TSB account and received her sort code and account number there and then.

When opening a second account is it the normal applying online or do you do it through online banking?

Thanks

I know I’m too late but in case you ever need a similar account in future, I would 100% recommend using Starling. They are part of CASS unlike Monzo and you get a sort code and account number literally in minutes, and as far as I can tell don’t perform a hard pull on your credit file unless you later request an overdraft facility.
