My Bank account balance and available balance is different by £1754 (1 adult, 1 minor) when I checked yesterday, but it has not appeared on the statement yet. Applied on 09/04/15 by NCS Cambridge.

Fantastic , at least something is happening!

You know what, the person who served me @ncs said it also depends on whose desk it lands, some are hard working and cracks on , others the are too laid back to work efficiently, who knows, but it shall be well. Patience is virtue. All the best!!
