Had noticed it got extended, i was going to sign some pals up, (by transferring them a grand to do it)but even with the extension i dunno if could get it done on time, never known such a slow bank for transactions.. from the moment i deposited a grand to the moment it arrived back in original bank took 12 working days... Stuck the grand into my wifes Fineco account on monday, still not arrived, so, assuming it arrives monday next, then withdraw same day looking at maybe 15th or 16th before it arrives back in my bank.. still, hopefully made £210 just between us both

How bizarre! 12 working days?! Which bank were you transferring to/from? With Barclays I transferred in the AM. Showed in my account on the PM. Transferred back the next day and took one day to arrive so 3 in total.

Just a reminder for everyone who has signed up to check their accounts tomorrow as that is meant to be the start of the bonuses arriving! :)

Do you mean withdrawing from ATM or?

Send them a quick message using the chat/help thing up the top right hand side when logged in they will confirm if you met the requirements and when you will get the money :)

Did you use the inbox then write to us like I've circled on here? I've also attached the reply my friend got when he asked.

Ha... spookily i just got a reply from my message 2 weeks ago, so now it says i HAVE met the conditions and that a pop up will appear by 19th JUNE, in which you need to sign something and decide which bonus you want, then the cash will appear in accounts within 8 working days of signing the agreement, with a caveat added that if they do not recieve it signed by 20th July that the bonus will be forfeited.... i can take a wild guess that either A the pop up will not appear at any point, or B that they will recieve signed agreement JUST after July 21 LOL

That's really sloppy leaving you waiting for 2 weeks! I asked them about the date I mentioned previously and they emailed me back to say -

we inform you that your promotion provides for the pop-up by the
19/06/2018.

we apologize for our previous uncorrect communication.

2 weeks really seems what i expect really, they are a shoddy shoddy outfit... well this is the blurb they messaged me with, but a quick look on my account and i see the message has now been deleted by them, but i had copied it when i got sent it...
we would like to inform you that you have met the conditions for the
awarding of the bonus.

A pop-up will be shown by the 19/06/2018 in the Client Area
exclusively for those who will have met all the conditions. In the
pop-up shown, you can sign the contractual supplement and choose
the bonus.

The signing of the contractual supplement must occur within
20/07/2018. Once this deadline has passed, entitlement to the bonus
will be lost.

It is specified that the choice of bonus can be made exclusively
online, in the Client Area of finecobank.com website.

Both the Guest and the Host can choose between the following
bonuses:

- £70 cash pay directly into their current account as additional
income to the same account. The bonus will be paid directly into
the customer’s account, within 8 working days from the acceptance
of the contractual supplement illustrated hereinafter.

- 100 orders with no commission charged To be used within 3 months
from the date of acceptance of the contractual supplement.

But as i said that message has disappeared, the next message i expect to have will be to tell me the bonus has timed out at some point late july... Its a shame this hasnt worked out, am guessing they got a hell of a fright at how many people tried to take advantage of it and put the stoppers on it

Looks like Fineco are hunting for new clients again through their referral scheme, but those willing to buy shares this time.

Full details here and my referral code: UK8867621

The wiki version is:
Open an account using a referral code before 7th Sept and make at least one trade (i.e. share purchase) to earn £50 and another 5 trades to earn an extra £100.

Opening link: here

Having yesterday read through the T&Cs and at fees for purchasing shares, I think there is money to be made here. I’ll post shortly when have access to a desktop.

Not heard of them before, so obviously that makes me cautious anyway but am I the only one here to be thinking 'don't touch with a bargepole, sounds dodgy' etc? I am cringing at hearing people putting in up to a grand and not getting it back for days.

Now they seem to have moved on to a different offer to entice more people.

Hope I am wrong but I am saying thanks but no thanks.
