How quickly are people finding the payment of any 'bonus'?
I emailed them about two weeks ago claiming a £50 bonus ..nothing yet and yesterday I emailed customer support...as yet no reply.

Hi,

I got mine on week 2 after opening and funding, but you are told in the email and instructions it could take up to 60 days. Secure messages are probably inundated so you may not get a reply, but if you got the thanks for email us we have opened up a support ticket (or something along those lines) then you will get the bonus, just sit back and wait.

I did get another email telling me the bonus was on the way, but not everyone got one of these but you may be one of the chosen ones.

In my case I applied for an ICICI account via Raisin on 1 Aug, following Martin's newsletter. I funded it on 6 Aug, and sent an email to claim the £50 new customer bonus on 12 Aug. I have not received a reply to my email and the cashback is not showing in my account. I believe I complied with Raisin's terms, so not sure what's happening about the bonus. I'll give it a few more weeks before contacting them.

Thanks rangersfc. Somehow I glossed over that minor detail. Still, would have been nice if my email had triggered an auto-confirm reply, or something to show that the bonus is in the pipeline.

I received my bonus today after emailing them on the 18th of July so it looks like those who applied in August will probably another few weeks to wait.

Woo-Hoo!! Both our bonuses have arrived in our accounts this morning. (We mature on 18th July).

It's not strictly 'investing' as such, but saving, which may seem a pedantic distinction but is actually quite important when evaluating the security of your money, in that it's only savings that will be in a position to guarantee to protect your capital.

Anyway, the safety and security of savings deposits are generally considered to be met by companies where deposits (of up to £85K) are guaranteed by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, so you need to check that the relevant providers offer this FSCS protection, and ICICI does.

There's potentially a small risk to the money in between leaving your own bank account and reaching ICICI, in that Raisin use a company called Meteor Asset Management to hold this money temporarily, for further details see https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/74390971#Comment_74390971
