Has anyone who is a current metro account holder tried to set up the easy access or the new ISA?

The fixed bonds can be opened with a click through your current login, but the others seemingly not.

If you have to do it as a separate login application, do they then sync the 2 metro logins up? Or do you have to manage 2 separate logins going forward?

Can understand them not wanting to make it to easy for the easy access savers to move from 1.65 to 5.2% in one click, but seems odd to operate the Fixed ISA and Fixed bonds differently?

     Signed up for the new Easy Access Acc this morning. 
    I already had a Metro current account, but had to sign up from new for the Savings acc. 
    I used the same password (that I previously used to log in) for the savings account and when set up the new savings acc appeared automatically in the Metro app. No new login required.

    Yep same here, it all got added to the same account after completing. They still require ID checking etc despite being an existing customer, so I'd recommend doing the application on your phone really.

    Imagine they are desperately trying to raise liquidity.
