Withdrawing My Money for for time - a little help please.

[Trinity-Belle]

For me Santander was the only bank who did give me a "slim size account" when I first came to UK, which means you just get a card to withdraw money at Sandander or pay for goods at Tescos. They won't give a debit card - so no online shopping with the "slim" Santander account. But it at least you can get your AW credits payed to your account

Oh! That's an interesting idea... I've never heard of that before.

Very good way of starting out if you've got no credit history I should think? I'll have to remember that... I'm sure it will come in useful for someone someday...
