    The online application link is working

    nothing to lose by submitting an application :idea:

    They only perform an ID check

    I have applied for the account online. I have printed the paperwork and posted today. I called Coventry BS just to confirm which forms of id were accepted and I'm sure they would have said if the account was not available? I shall keep you posted:money:
  • I applied last night and just had a phone call from them saying that they would not be able to open the account as it was withdrawn.

    Apparently they have been in touch with :money: to rectify this post.

    I would expect others who applied to also receive the same phone call.

    Shame. They should re-introduce the account; it's clearly popular.

    I already hold one from 2009 but just applied again inputting my existing account number.

    As an existing customer and not a new one, I should be allowed to apply I think :)

    I'll keep you posted with progress or decline.

    Just had call saying it's an error; the link should be removed.

    Oh well. Shame.
  • Snap - Same here ;)

    £1 of debt is too much for me!

    link removed - wouldn't it be easier for Coventry BS to remove the link from its website if it doesn't want people to apply for the account :o

  • Why not open a Coventry First account as that also has a VISA debit card?

    I don't think this bunch are looking for a credit scored account

  • Contray to the last couple of posts on this thread. I am pleased to say I have received my Cashlink card today and now have a Callsave Money Manager account with the Coventry:j

    I sent the application form off at the beginning of the week and received my account details in the post yesterday. :money:

    If any one is thinking of calling them today to check if the account is available, I am afraid they are closed due to the merger with Stroud and Swindon.

    That's not the same. This is a callsave 2 account with visa debit card not cashlink cards
