Yes, but it said "we're opening your account". Seems a bit odd.

Whatever may have happened yesterday - - - what does your account say today? It should be fully opened by now, and show with its account title and its interest rate. If you have yet to make a deposit, the interest rate will show as 0.1% on the Regular E-Saver Issue 13. No idea what it would show as if you opened an ISA.

Ha, just had a look - those boxes with the info relating to the rate etc seem to be an image.
There's now a grey box with the sad face & a right click reveals:
"uk.virginmoney.com unexpectedly closed the connection."

Not a good start.

Matured Chorley Santa Saver cheque has arrived this morning.

With youthful naivety, I wanted to pay it into my Club Lloyds account through their mobile app. No such luck - £500 limit on cheques paid in through the app. Same at Halifax/BOS, HSBC and Barclays.

:cool: :think:

Snap despite no postage having been paid, luckily I was not charged excess postage.

Mine arrived at noon. Luckily I have a branch a (free) bus ride away, open till 4pm today. Awful weather but it got me out for some fresh air, and it gains me 17p extra interest compared with going in on Monday.

Coventry gives you 2.5% and you can put in up to £500 per month. So consider Coventry first then Virgin Money which only gives 2% and is limited to £250 per month. Just in case have a look at the first page in this thread as you might find something better (depends who you bank with and where you live).

Bear in mind you can withdraw money from Virgin without penalty, but the coventry one charges you 30 days lost interest.

OK, not sure if I can post links yet:
Here's the screen grabs:

There's normally a 14 cooling off period, just make sure they amend the error in case you have/want to open an ISA this tax year

Isn't it just an advert (for a different account/"featured product") within the screen?

I agree, the featured product box is just an advertisement for an E ISA, I get the same image when I log on.

Yep, it is.

Oh, and some or all of the images have totally screwed up the entire board format for editing/quoting (in the green version, anyway). @Erik_V_EyeKing, even though you haven't answered the Q what your account says today, it is now clear there isn't any problem. Please can you remove those images so we are back to normal? Thank you
