Stayed up to 2am trying to get the submission to work only to fail my own credit history q’s (too many accounts 😉 ) - whilst I wait for my transaction code I have to hope this isn’t advertised too widely in the interim! 😉

Thanks for sharing this r00lish67. I was tempted and applied. Never again. After spending 15 minutes filling in the form I failed at the timed identity test quiz and now it won't recognise my login details. I have just given up after waiting 30 minutes for them to fail to answer the phone. |

Stayed up to 2am trying to get the submission to work only to fail my own credit history q’s (too many accounts 😉 ) - whilst I wait for my transaction code I have to hope this isn’t advertised too widely in the interim! 😉 I thought I had failed the same tests, as it presented me with a list of 5 Northampton addresses for me to select that I once lived in. The fact that I've never lived in Northampton and there was no "none of the above" made things rather awkward. However, I was sent an email today saying all is fine, and I have since checked Experian directly to confirm no identity fraud weirdness. I've now managed to get all the way into my account and I've paid in £1k. Paying it out again however is another matter, as it felt paying out £1k was too significant for it to handle, and then I tried £500 to find my transaction has been referred to their fraud authorities  Banks are weird aren't they - I've sent out £20k from Santander when I meant £2k in a single payment (thankfully to myself), and it didn't blink. If I tried the same on LLoyds, it'd probably explode. No such thing as a free lunch, eh?

I have just given up after waiting 30 minutes for them to fail to answer the phone. Yes, there was inevitably going to be a queue, and it'll be totally impossible tomorrow once it's in Martin's tips. I hate those tests. Did I open that account in March or April? Did I take out my phone contract 5 or 8 years ago? Did I marry her or the other one? God knows!

A useful tip is to have one of your free credit reports (such as Noddle/Clearscore) open on another tab during applications. That way if they ask you any difficult questions about yourself you can cheat!

Nor my (apparent) Northampton residence It is a good idea though. Btw, £4 cashback for an Equifax trial, and £2.50 for Noddle - will the cashback ever end?

I'm pretty miffed. They only gave me £150 when I signed up.
How it is worth their while to hand out £250 a time I do not know. So far they will have earned back only a very small percentage of what they handed out to me.

I signed up to B the other day and my 7day switch completed on 8th November, however only one of my payees from my previous bank now appears on the app, they are available when I call B telephone banking. Has anyone else had this same issue?
Also does anyone else B app crash when you try and view your direct debits?
