What we do
We aim to process your application and send you an email or a letter, within three working days. (Please remember to allow for the post, weekends and bank holidays.)
This email or letter will either be to confirm that your account is opened, or to ask you to provide some further information before we can open your account.
Once your account is open, within seven to 10 working days, we will post your eBanking log in details and new card and pin to the address you provided in the application (these will be sent separately for security reasons)
