I just went to look at the Tesco bank savings account mentioned here. I have a credit card and loan with them so thought I could open the account easily but when I start the process it says:

"you won't be able to take money out until you send us certain information by post."

What do they want by post when you can easily open other bank accounts simply online? Agh!!

Could it be because you've failed their online ID checks or is that the case for everyone applying ?

Does all your info match your existing Tesco accounts? You haven't moved since opening the accounts originally?

My wife applied for a Santander EA Saver and despite having a credit card with them previously, they wanted some guff by post because her address was different due to us moving. 

Seems so old school having to post stuff. Realistically I don't see why these places can't have an online document portal where you can upload stuff.

The information Tesco requires you to post to them before you can withdraw is your signature.

The info request is on their website before applying. 

Thank you isasmurf.
