These figures are based on the time taken from our receiving all the information and documents set out at minimum documents and information required for profit making companies and minimum documents and information required for non-profit making companies, in a case where we don't need any further information or documents to open the account.

How quickly do we give customers a debit card? [2]

  • With regards to the 99% measurement, in a situation where 100 customers opened an account and 98 were opened in 2 days, 1 opened in 5 days and 1 opened in 10 days, the 99% measurement would be 5 days.
