Did you get the message saying 2 working days to become active?

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.

As a existing customer I got that message too. The account is showing in my login though, so I'll add £1 and wait just in case

I've applied as a non-Newcastle customer, got the welcome email telling me they'll send me another email and a letter with my full login details, but that I need to fund my new account within 14 days of application, providing sort code, account number and temporary reference number. At application it asked me how much I'd be opening my account with - I said £1 - and have just sent £1 over using the reference number they've provided. Will now see how long it takes to receive the login credentials to show this initial deposit.
