I have opened an account today, it's up and running all looks good and ready to receive funds, got my account/sort codes etc I've logged in all set.
Now when I go to my current bank to send funds (a small amount first)  it warns me that they cannot verify details of VM account as they don't offer this service. It goes on to say if you want to continue make details are correct or monies could be lost blah blah.
So I don't know if it's too soon or is there a problem. Btw my account I'm sending funds from is my FD account (current)

Not all banks offer confirmation of payee. As long as you double check the account number you can proceed.

Thanks for your reply.
I've just done a transfer using another account/bank, similar message but I proceeded with the payment. All good it landed instantly in my VM account. So the way it was worded with FD was just a warning I guess to the new payment I set up and to double check. At least I know we are up and running.👍

I get this issue with lots of payments to lots of accounts, as ED-1 says, just be sure of your account info before sending and you should be ok

I applied on 18/11 and they still haven't got back to me! For some reason the automatic credit check failed so they had to check manually. Shouldn't really take 3 weeks though! Tried to chase them by phone which sent me to a webchat which was for savings only, was like trying to get blood out of a stone getting to the right place. Finally got through on the phone and was told that there was a "technical issue" with the credit check but they'd get back to me "as soon as possible".

Only chasing because I want the wine!

I now know I got one of the credit questions wrong. They then phoned and said could  I send ID doc and to do this online. I did this  about the 20 November.  I was advised I would hear within two business days but still waiting. I only did it for the wine.

Anyone else completed their switch in November and still not received a code?

assuming you've done the rest of the requirements? funded savings with 1k and left it there, DL'd the App? etc.

Yes, 1K in savings, 2 DDs switched.I'm just triggering one of the DDs.
Did anyone get a mention of the wine offer as part of the switching processs confirmation?

I guess in that case there is no limit.
