- kingofspain 10y agoI started a Ltd a couple of months ago and applied online for a Santander business account, I had my card and account set up within 7 days or so (I was away from home so it could've been quicker). I got a company credit card 2(!) days after applying online to Barclays. No phone calls, no visits to a branch for either.
- peteretep 10y agoInteresting. I switched to Barclays for my personal accounts, and they seem unusually tech savvy.
- kingofspain 10y agoI'm with them for personal and the app is great (website also pretty good but it has an unusually strict timeout on entering indentity codes that makes me sit there with the app poised, so I can enter it within 3 seconds!) Santander's mobile app is awful though. It kind of works but it's a chunky pre-iOS 7 hybrid monstrosity. Web access is pretty smooth however. Co-op who I was previously are a crap beast on all counts.
- dood 10y agoIt depends on the bank I think, some are still doing it that way but others you can set up over the phone no problem.
