Waiting for the Bank…
On setting up a Limited Training Company (see www.TrainingForUniversities.com) I needed a new bank account. I’ve used Abbey for business banking for years and been very happy with their free and efficient service. They seemed an obvious choice.
The application form was 12 pages long. We had to wait for credit checks and to confirm that I really did receive mail at the postal address I supplied. Then another week while paperwork was processed…
I believe my accounts were officially opened on Wednesday last week. That’s when they sent out my Welcome Pack, account details, cards etc… and I’m still waiting.
They can tell me all of this on the telephone.
Oh yes, there are the security checks, my eye colour, my dog’s inside leg measurement and my first friend at nursery school, we need security clearance. With this information they will let me transfer money into or out of an account – but they won’t tell me the new account number.
So I’m still waiting.
How long does one wait before one starts to panic…?
