Yes they set up accounts before I left the UK. But I still have UK accounts and credit card I can use here. CC works fine on the pin but will not work for online purchase because of the change of address. The account they set up for you is restricted, you have to transfer funds to a pounds account then send a secure message to ask them to transfer it to your peso account. They will only remove the restrictions when your I-Card is resident.
