No I have checked the Nottingham account and it is not in there, I did put £1000 straight after and that is showing. I will have to wait and see if it goes back into the originating account.

OK, well I reckon that it will have left Nottingham and will be awaiting reallocation in the receiving account.

If you’ve only sent a test amount of £1 or so I doubt you’ll ever see it again,... unless you specifically ask for it to be returned.

Bits‘n’bobs like that get transferred directly into a special account that funds lavish staff Xmas parties, trips abroad, expensive cars, lap-dancers and such like.

Untrue. It will be returned.

Yup, reported earlier in the thread:

I see this account has been pulled already,I presume you can still add funds as long as it was opened on time

Marcus is still available for a slightly lower 1.5% however.

Update. The missing money is no longer missing, it reappeared in the originating account via a CHAPS payment.:) Saved me calling them although my wife has been locked out of the account on the first attempt of accessing it so she will have to ring them to get it unlocked.

Well no, I wouldn't have thought you just scraped through. Because you had the login details which were forwarded to you as a part of the application process for opening the account, it seems reasonable to assume that even had you not funded the account that it would have been actually opened and it would be simply there awaiting your first funding payment.

In other words, when you applied, the account would have been opened there and then, rather than at the point that you actually sent the first fund to it.

I agree that's usually the case..but from their terms:

3.10 You must pay your opening deposit into your account within 7 days of your application being accepted or before the product is closed to new applications (whichever happens first).

They may cut near misses some slack, but I wouldn't hang around.
