    I opened all my accounts without needing to send any ID. My wife on the otherhand needed to send ID, even for the Regular ISA where she provided her NI no.

    Also, you can simply send a photocopy of your passport or other documents and does not need to be certified.

    It was fun while it lasted. I doubt we will see them back in their current form.

    Their admin systems must be overloaded!

    I was. At least it's freepost and they accept basic photocopies, although I don't see why you can't just email it when that's the case.

    Got 3 xISA and 3 x RS. One of each has a SO set up for the year, all are funded with £250.
    Think I may wait until 23/6 and fund that payment x 4 manually, ie wait and see how it goes before setting up the other 4 SOs. Just a bit tired of setting up SOs !

    How long does it take to move money from nominated 'external' account to flex saver?
    I have looked for answer but could not find it.

    Yes, as adindas says it appears to be next working day, although some payments may have been delayed a bit by the rush on Monday. Ford do some kind of allocation process (possibly manually :eek:) to get the money from their holding account into your personal account - so even 'next working day' doesn't necessarily mean first thing.

    No. At least not yet...

    Perhaps they might ask for one set of ID documents to be sent for each sepatate account opened ;)

    I wonder if anyone have opened 20+ of them (say?)
    If so how many accounts did you manage to open without difficulties.
    If this forum is not suitable pm will be very much appreciated.

    Thanks

    Quick question on the Ford RS ISA - what do they count as a month? Is it a calendar month or a month anniversary from your initial deposit? Just checking for setting up the regular payment, couldn't see it in the Ts & Cs (but I might have just missed that bit!)
