I signed up and am not to impressed so far by the length of time taken to process my £1 cheque to open the account. As far as I'm aware they haven't had official launch yet so perhaps many of their new staff are still in training? Maybe the publicity on Radio 4 resulted in too many customers too soon - much the same happened when ING started.

It will be interesting to see how much they reduce their rates by if the Bank of England does start lowering rates. When the BoE had a rapid series of rate rises in 0.25% steps during the first half of last year, ING never raised their's by as much as the BoE. With falling rates I wonder if they will now match the BoE reduction? They've already got a 0.25% head start even before the BoE rate has started moving at all.
