Yep, you can go to an RBS for pretty much instant deposits (cheques take about a week) and I believe you can do it at Natwest too but it takes longer to hit your account. Also, I pay in directly from PayPal if I sell something on eBay and it's normally there within an hour if you do it before 3pm. ThinkMoney should give you a paying-in book (I have one) but to be honest since I got my account I have just banked online mostly.

Yes , you can do this at RBS and Nat West banks , I have used Nat West and it will take 7 working days to clear cheques ...RBS will be quicker , so it just depends on how close either branch is and how soon you want to use the funds

When is it okay for a so called bank to hold your money and then tell you over the phone that they don't know when it will be released for your own use? That's what Thinkmoney have been doing to me for the last 4 days. I can't get access to over £7000 that was paid in via the normal banking channels, they asked me to prove it's origin which I did and still no release of funds. I have reported this to the appropriate channels and even written to the directors but this pattern of events is too common. I have decided to take legal action against this company and it's directors for damages. If anybody has experienced the same treatment then perhaps you would like to join me in suing?

Hi there, have,unfortunately,been there. Upon depositing a few thousand pounds into my card account the first thing I noticed was I had no access to my account via the internet and my card was declined despite ample funds...no warning or notice was given by TM. Querying this over the phone I was meet with all sorts of questions about where it came from..who,why,where,what!! And you better give us evidence! Side winded by this I complied and sent all relevant emails,documents etc (I hasten to add it was entirely legit and therefore didn't imagine this sort of thing could happen) and then.......nothing! I thought (wrongly) that once they had critiqued my 'evidence' (laughable really) my money would be released without a moments delay,alas it wasn't to be. Over the course of the next two weeks or so I was given no information as to progress or why it was taking so long...or most importantly what the problem (with my sum of money) was! I had no access to my account because it was blocked and phone calls to TM's 'money managers' was akin to being put into 'Coventry' (kids game) they would tell you nothing,answer no questions,were rather rude and dismissive. (I know only too well that being rude and aggressive over a phone gets you nowhere so I was cool,calm and collected....despite how utterly outraged I was) I was in limbo...blind(no information) and crippled (financially) After a week of no news I eventually got in touch with the financial ombudsman as an initial step to taking action against them. The ombudsman (as part of the action) then informs TM that a complaint has been lodged against them and that they (ombudsman) will be investigating. By the end of week two I had already had paperwork from the ombudsman....

Report this content ihatethinkmoney Written on: 27/01/2015

....for me to give the go ahead.(apparently once a bank or institution is aware of a particular complaint against them and a potential investigation...it seems to concentrate their collective minds and resolve the said complaint in short order!) A day or so later TM got in touch to inform me that the funds were now available and access to my account had been granted as well as Internet. There was NO apology or explanation. I also received a few pounds 'goodwill' payment put into my account from TM....which amounted to two months bank charges! I was never informed of this...I discovered it by chance. During my enforced financial sabbatical I did a little digging and from the little information I could gather this is,more or less,the 'money shot'. Because TM takes on 'all comers' with NO credit checks done as a matter of policy....they assume (by default) that their paying customers are criminals or potentially so and therefore must be treated as such. When you tell them how much goes into your account each month and where it comes from....that's you nailed to a cross. IF you deposit a sum of money NOT connected to regular work/benefits ie proceeds from car sale,gifted or inheritance money,lotto win etc etc...it is immediately deemed as suspicious and frozen. You see,with TM you are by default 'guilty' and you must 'prove' your innocence....hard to stomach! They are super paranoid about money laundering and they (TM) can be fined heavily or shut down if any customer is guilty of doing so.....which makes them NO different from any other high St bank or financial institution.The difference being TM attacks their 'preventative measures' with a certain exuberance...to put mildly!! Unlike their counterparts. I'm so sorry for your experience...it will resolve itself...ombudsman if not. All the best.

Asked by Tezza1976 on 15th September 2014 Report this content

Think Money mention their a bank with transparency, why would a bank that advertise their that have no procedures and not be able to give me no information what so ever regarding a cash deposit I paid into my account and the fact it's now been TWO weeks and I still can't access it and they've also blocked use of my account. Surely a so called "bank" is breaching banking codes never mind actually breaking the law? This organisation needs some sort of penalty for its mismanagement and lack of procedure/professionalism.

Cash should clear right away but cheques on this account take longer than other accounts to clear.Plus with the account now being so popular they don't have the money managers to cope with demand,everytime you phone it takes longer than 15 min wait plus you keep getting cut off.The account now coasts £14-50 per month but they now rely on the text and online to keep the accounts going basically they do not have enough money managers.

No you cant have a traditional overdraft with THINK MONEY. They offer customers who ahve been with them for a couple of months what they call an overdraft facility, but it is a pay day loan!! They charge very high interest rates and want it paid back in full on a specific date. If you fail to pay it back on that date they hammer you with really ridiculous charges. Fair to say that nothing Think Money do over and above their horrid account is very very very expensive. Think Money is one to avoid.

As previously stated Thinkmoney have introduced a credit facility to account holders who have held accounts for some time with them. The facility offers either £100 or £200 that account holders may apply for. The easiest way to explain it is by example: Borrow £100 on the 14th February having agreed to repay it on the 28th of the same Month. The credit facility for £100 is charged at £1 per day. Amount Borrowed £100 for 14 days £14 Total Re-payable on 28th = £114 Similarly if you Borrow £200 it is charged at £2 per day. So if you Borrow £200 on the 10th February and agree to repay on the 28th: Amount Borrowed £200 for 18 days £36 Total re-payable on 28th = £236 Obviously in deciding whether or not to grant this facility Think take into account your ability to repay it. The re-payment amount is set aside from your Salary in the same way as your normal Monthly Bills so in normal circumstances it is not possible to miss your re-payment date thus incurring extra charges. Hope this helps.

No. Their is an emergency credit facility which works almost like a very cheap pay day loan, but obtaining that depends on your circumstances and involves phoning them and applying every time. Their is no arranged or unarranged overdraft facility on the think money account as you don't need one due to the fact that their system should put enough money aside to cover your bills without the need to get in to debt.

Report this content clcampbell Written on: 06/02/2014

No, I don't think you can have an overdraft. You have 1 account with 2 'pots' in. Pot 1 is your 'salary account' & this is where your wages etc are paid into. All your regular bills are paid out of this account and anything that is left over is put into pot 2. This is your 'card account' & its basically the money you have left till you next get paid. You can get instant balances by text so, in theory, you shouldn't need an overdraft because you'll always know how much money is left!
