it sounds like they are going to send you a paper cert which could be a bit of a pain. you could just chuck the cash into an ISA instead, assuming you have unused allowance.
I don't have an ISA so I assume I've got full amount available. They earn fuck all though right so wouldn't it make more sense just to stick it into a savings account or buy stocks with it in my pension SIPP thingie? Or just dump it into my pension as cash deposit (I assume you can do this)
