I wanted to open a 1 year Fixed Rate account. The registration process was very long-winded and included me having an account with GetBusy UK to access their 'Virtual Cabinet Portal'. This is the first time I have ever had to use a third party system to pass electronic documents. All other banks that I have used manage secure documents and messages via their own website.Once the account was verified I was then told that my deposit(s) would go into a holding account with zero interest and then moved (after 3 working days) into the Fixed Rate account. I am assuming that I will never know the account details for that. The whole process seems unnecessarily convoluted and makes me very wary.The final nail in the coffin is that once I had my account verified and then went through the process of setting up my 'Self-Service Portal', I was then unable to login to that portal because it claimed that my login details were incorrect.This bank might be legitimate, but if it is then it needs to improve its systems. It will not be holding my money.
