Also, in addition the provident fund arrived after 4 weeks in my USD EXPAT account in Jersey.
Your provident is handled and kept in the isle of man so EK can't mess with that one... just make sure your account details are correct as there's a big admin fee to correct it if you screw up!
DROPP - I think you may be confused assuming you have to collect your provident on the last day. Just let the provident company in the IOM handle the transfer - don't even think of carrying that cash across the lobby!
