No. Just the usual "how to fund" eMail. If you're an existing Newcastle customer perhaps you get a different message?

Same here.  But as a new Customer I need to wait for a User ID (which will be sent my email and letter) before I can log in.

Yes

I applied as an existing member whilst logged in and got this screen message:

Your account should be open within 2 working days and available for viewing via the 'Account Summary' page within your logged in online account manager. To log in just follow the links from newcastle.co.uk and use your existing login details

I also then subsequently got an email with this message:

Thank you for your recent application.

Your new account and account number will be available to view via the 'Account Summary' page when you log in

Thanks, I opened one, just as a 'hedge' for now, just sent £1 across to it.  Won't use it for a while since I haven't got the max amount in the Barclays 5% account so using that as my main easy access account for now, but this might be a useful one to have in the future.
