    Never known a banking institution take so long to accept money into an account, I have one from 30th October, it’s pending, but as I said!!
    As you get interest from the date your transaction shows, this is not an issue. Not until their interest rates drop, anyway - but then, you would most likely not want to use them any longer anyway
    My only issue, is that whilst it is pending, I would actually like to see it in the account has it was a considerable amount. You are right I will be looking to go elsewhere. I am in the process of phoning them now.
  • Wow, just refreshed my account and it is now showing. I can get on with my decorating now. 🤪😢
