Nationwide account setup time

I have some money in a fixed account due to end later this month. I was just wondering how long it takes from applying for the Flex Direct account online to actually being able to deposit funds into the account to start earning interest?

    I applied 18th April it seems a slow process so far.

    Have got my account number, sort code , pin and card (the pin and card arrived 4th and 5th May) but can't access internet banking yet.

    Am reluctant to pay across into the account until I can see the account for myself with online banking. Hoping details for that turn up tomorrow after Bank Holiday.

    That's good to know, sounds like I'm probably best applying now if I ideally want to deposit funds around 25th May
