    It didn't happen to me so no, it's not standard.
  • Thank you both, I guess I just have to wait and see what happens.

    When I applied for mine (about a year ago) I was refused - yes really!

    The refusal email gave me a phone number so I called to find out why.

    No explanation but they then opened the account anyway so all good.

    It seems to be a rather variable opening process but when you get there the account is faultless.

    I never got that message, looks like they have made a change to the registration process.

    Nothing to sweat about, you'll love banking with them. Make sure you only transfer money from the linked account.
