    I don't remember getting anything through the post except, of course, my debit card. All done online.
    I came into this world with nothing and I've got most of it left.

    Do you mind me asking roughly how long the process of opening the account took? Thanks

    It was opened in minutes. I seem to remember being able to add the debit card to Apple Pay straight away.

    They are a digital bank, so it should take minutes to open provided you pass the identity checks. The communication shoul all be online with only the physical card being posted.

    Upon opening you should be able to see the virtual debit card in the account and be able to add that to a digital wallet such as Google or Apple pay.

    What does it say the status is if you login to the account?

    Mine took 10 minutes to open in the app and all I got through the post was the card.

    Thanks for replies.  Still thinking about taking the account out.  Read the year thing on a another thread on here today (could have got that wrong of course) though can't remember where...a recent thread for sure probably about switching.

    What is there to think about? It takes about 10 minutes to open an account and if you don't like it then just move somewhere else.
