Re: Nine UK banks launch fee-free accounts
New-ish member here, greetings.
Just opened a Basic Account with Santander. Never banked with them before (my personal account is with Lloyds so keep that entirely separate) but they are efficient if nothing else.
I received the cash card, top-up debit card and letters with the temporary pins etc quickly but I made a balls-up with entering them in the system. Phoned them and they were extremely helpful and are sending out new temp pins for me to get going.
I didn't have to supply any docs/proofs at all. Everything done online (except correcting my cock-up).
As Lombok says, there are 2 account numbers floating around so will try depositing to both in due course and see what happens. Looks promising.
