Feeder Account for Bounce Back Loan with RBS

Options
Hello everyone,
I hope everyone is well.

I applied to Royal Bank of Scotland on 11th May for a Bounce Back Loan Feeder Account, so I can then go on to apply for the Bounce Back Loan.

RBS carried out a credit check on 20th May and I was asked to submit documents on 21st May, which I did on 22nd May.
Since then, I have had no further contact from them! 

I have tried calling and used webchat to get an update, both to no avail.

Has anyone else had any similar issues?
If, as they have not gotten back to me as yet, could it be they will not open feeder account, thus I will be unable to apply for BBL?
If RBS says no, what other options do I have? (I have no other dealings with other banks).

    If RBS say no, have a look at the table at

    Many are trying HSBC as they are one of the few big banks allowing non customers to apply for BBL/feeder accounts but it's not a quick prices lists. Otherwise, you could consider one of the newer banks.
