where coop was direct debits and/or standing orders.  

That's unusual to allow just standing orders and they allow you to set them up after the switch, that's a big help in my book.

yeah it is easier, as i only have one dd on that account, so saves me setting up any more in interim, but it states as follows:

b) has at least 2 active direct debits or standing orders in place on the eligible account at the point of payment (this can include any that are transferred as part of the switch);


so i have the 1 dd already on the account and have put two standing orders on to accounts of my own elsewhere

I thought it inferred you have up to 30 days after the switch to setup / do anything that is required to meet the t&C?

Did anyone have to upload ID? I called as hadn’t heard anything - they asked “have you uploaded your proof of ID and address”? And i said no because nobody asked / told me to!!! Seems as farcical to open an account as Ulster…

How long can Co-op take to accept your application?  We applied for 2 sole accounts yesterday, but not received anything as yet.

The first email I received ended up in my spam folder so maybe worth checking yours.

I just applied, the form states at the bottom it's usually next day but can take up to 5 - no-one but they know how long it will take, probably longer due to the influx of serial switchers

True, but it doesn't hurt to check your spam folder as they will be sending you emails as part of the application process.

Thanks buddy.  Yeah that was the first thing I did.  Nothing as yet.  However, we've managed to open the TSB accounts almost instantly and start the switch process, so that's something at least.

I cannot remember what date they quoted for switch completion during the application process and it's not in any email received so far; roughly how many days after application did they say?
