 West Brom BS Triple Access Saver (Issue 1) 

After applying for this account how many days have you waited before hearing anything and/or the account being opened ?

I applied early yesterday and to be fair to WBBS they stated at the start of the process that it may take 3 to 5 working days due to the number of applications.

I got an email confirming the account was open the day after I applied.  Not news but I did want to add that the email said I could not fund the account until the following day.

This is probably so that a COP match is returned. In practice I expect they would accept funds on the same day (but I'd test it with a small amount first if not wanting to wait.)

Skipton use Barclays for clearing, so they need to allow time for Barclay's systems to update so they can accept payments to your specific account (payments are made to Skipton's Client account at Barclays and then accounted for based on your personal 9-digit Skipton account number).

I actually opened one at 0530hrs this morning, and was just trying to do the same on my wife's behalf - too late!
