Have you read the recent posts on this thread? Just a few posts up from yours?

Look into HSBC MMF. You'll need to add another £2 to your account.

I got my second payout for the Santander Stocks and Shares ISA from TopCashback today as well. Was going to close or transfer the S&S account elsewhere, but note TopCashback's terms currently state You will not be eligible for cashback unless you have funds invested for at least 90 days from your initial investment.

Not sure they can do much about it once the money has been paid out?

entirely down to you. I’ll be transferring mine out (not closing) once my latest cashback has landed. There are many less costly ISA platforms.

Same here, got my £50 confiemed and set to payable over night and withdrawal has been initiated this morning. I only opened the account and funded with £100. I did not invest in anything and got pay 14p interest on my funds as well.

Since the terms now state explicitly, it needs to be invested and held for 90 days, it seems like they have noticed and tightened the T&C now. Will transfer out and close the Santander Investment hub.

Well done on getting a second TCB payout, missed the opportunity for the first round but very happy with my £50 and all the other £25 payouts for the Santander and Cahoot saver accounts.

Ah good. Still waiting on my account to be verified. Nearly 2 days and no email from them yet.

My name was flagged for review by IG.

I was asked to confirm if I've ever been associated with Sian Christina Macleod. According to Google, this is the UK's Ambassador to Serbia. Unfortunately, I don't move in such rareified circles.

Seemed an odd question,

Got a LinkedIn account? Maybe you went to the same school/Uni? An Ambassador would be classed as a Politically Exposed Person and would get extra KYC checks, as would anyone "associated" with them.

Just had an email asking "Please can you confirm if you have ever held any political or governmental positions?"

Weird, once had a drink in the local Tory club bar, but that's about it!

Wonder what a "political position" is defined as? MP? Local councillor? Member of a political party?

I hold all sorts of political positions. Such as that AML legislation is failing due to successive governments constantly layering rules on top of one another without considering the impact it has on certain box ticking firms. Seriously, how is someone with something to hide going to answer that question?
