Actually, if you email them, they just put it in the account for you. I did this. I'm sorry to say that I just opened a limited risk with them for the £150 to see what their platform was like, and was not impressed. There is nothing remarkable about their range of instruments, spreads, margin requirements, executions, etc.
I placed a trade in cable, which lost, and I don't have enough margin left to trade anything else with them, and I don't see me trading with them in the future. It was very nice to get a paper statement and paper contract note from them though. I really should get around to closing the account since I won't be using it in the future.
Interesting... I did exactly the same thing and came to the same conclusion. Their platform (City Index with a different colour scheme, apparently) is terrible. Everything that you need doing quickly, it does slowly, and vice versa. It also didn't display properly on my screens, and the charts were pathetic. Never wanted to use it again.
If CI and FS are the same now, why do they use different platforms, anyway?
