My golden rule is to never deposit any money into any account before I have full online / app access to it, and am able to transact as I require (e.g. making online purchases).

Depending on the account, you might need a debit card to register for the access. Others will give you instant access, and some even a virtual debit card you can use immediately.

Well lve got the app up and running
and sent £1 and it looks OK. so far.
