    It's ok because apparently they're almost sorry about anything bad they might have done in the past and given the passing of time and how impressively successful they are we should forget about all that stuff which was probably mostly rumor anyway whatever it was. Ooh look 1.5%, easy application process now all snuggled up tight with them...

    Very straightforward and easy to open - Deposit arrived within just a few minutes.
  • Yep took about 5 minutes. Not quite as fast as the 1 second it takes with some other accounts I have but at least it's not two days (yes, goodbye LeedsBS).
