Nottingham Building society - Beehive Money

LSDave

Looks like there has been an inconsistency with account numbers then if others are reporting no difference, our accounts are the eSaver Issue 8. There is no mistake that our numbers have definitely changed; I have already used the contact them email facility to find out why but have had no answer as yet (didn't check though if it still had the awful small amount of characters for meaningful contact limitation).
Looking round the site further I cannot see how you can get tax statements. Nor can I find any download of any types of forms which can sometimes be helpful.
Still there doesn't seem to be any products available which you thought they might have conjured up to tie in with their launch.
The mobile phone restriction is a very bad restriction, other societies have the ability for you to use landlines as well (yorkshire building society) which is far more sensible. Also the insecurity of mobiles has been hilighted in a number of reports on scams obtaining mobile sims very easily, this is not to mention vulnerability of mobile networks such as we have seen recently with o2.
The nottingham admitted lots of problems about their old system in a fair amount of correspondence over the years saying they had a replacement coming that would be all singing all dancing. What they have saddled us with has not been worth the wait, it certainly doesn't uphold their confidence account holders would be getting better control, facilities or service.

Another drawback of requiring a one time pass code being sent to a mobile, makes it difficult/expensive when abroad.

If I were you, I should instantly withdraw all my money, close my Beehive account and vow to never return. Do it before your condition improves.:p

I have made the transition with no difficulty and no change of account number.

No one needs to have an "excuse" for not having a mobile phone, basic or not.

They're not compulsory.

They seem to be for this! Hence all the warnings!

You seem very keen to be right considering you are responding to a posting I made four months ago.

However, mobile phones are still not compulsory, nor is having an account with Beehive Money compulsory either.

And four months on, people still don't need to have an "excuse" for not having a mobile.

My excuse for not having a smartphone is that the government hasn't given me one yet. Them Tory scum, eh?

i dare say i have this wrong, at least i hope so, but i vaguely remember reading something, somewhere, that these wretched OTP things will be mandatory soon for online transactions?
(hopefully someone who knows can set me straight on this as i now cannot find the article i read about this)

OTPs don't necessarily have to be sent to mobiles. For example, Virgin Money give you the choice of having an OTP sent to your mobile or your landline during the signing in process.

I guess it will all depend on what procedure each bank chooses to follow.

Despite living in an urban area my mobile signal is poor, but OTPs sent by text to my mobile tend to arrive quickly even at times when I can't make calls.

You are not wrong
Part of the EU wide PSD2 (payment services directive No 2)
Mandatory implementation date in early 2019 as I recall.
Quite how each financial group will implement the 2FA requirements in each of it payment channels remains to be seen - probably all differently!
