Ok....so the last post about getting your account sorted
pretty much told you the first stages of getting you account
which was simple but there was more to come.
Its nothing that you have to really do as everything comes to you.
So I advise if and when you do, do this
that you do it at least 3 weeks in advance. I will explain why.
As I explained before the process is simple but lengthy.
Once you done what I said before, over the next 2 weeks
you will start receiving a couple things separately.
This is for security reasons. I don't remember the order that they come in at the moment
because I am posting this almost a month later
but none the less you still get the same items.
After you receive your card, five business days later I think
you will receive a bunch of information about interest rates,
different account types and internet banking (recommend getting).
The form to get this comes with all these papers that you get
and all you have to do is send it back.
The form will ask you for your DOB, a security number
and a memorable place. The security number
has to be a minimum of 6 characters and not
a birthdate of any sort or phone number. Basically...
NOTHING THAT CAN BE CONNECTED TO YOU.
Than the next week you will receive your pin number.
The pin number comes on this sticker that over this noisy
background so that it cant be seen. To see it you have to hold it
against a white piece of paper. I recommend if you do tear it off
to put it somewhere that it cannot get lost.
I am notorious for losing things. So yes, I LOST MINE!!!
No surprise there. Don't worry your pretty little head though
Its very simple to get back but once again its lengthy.
You can request to get in via your internet banking
in like two clicks, but you will not get the pin for up to 7 working days.
So keep that in mind before you rip it off.
If you plan to transfer money, keep in mind the transfer rate. For example, lets say you want to transfer £100
from BDA dollars its going to cost you $60 roughly extra.
So in total you will be withdrawing $160 roughly.
