Newcastle BS Triple Access 3.05% (03/02) Newcastle Triple Access Saver (Issue 4) thnx @ForumUser7

First time in the ToTP list for Newcy BS? In at No2. 
Used to have some decent rate reg savers some years ago.

I recently applied for one of these Necastle BS accounts online.
The clunky application process asks you to send proof of ID through the post.
They give a PDF with two lists (A and of possible forms of ID but don't tell you how many are required from each list:-

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwi--LDIj4v9AhUOacAKHSCWCm8QFnoECA0QAQ&url=https://www.newcastleis.co.uk/docs/acceptable-ID.pdf&usg=AOvVaw0SWBmUOqB7_eaSX_GL53a2

It also says you can send a copy as a PDF but don't tell you where to email it.

I sent them an message asking what was required. So far, no email reply and nothing received through the post.

Has anyone else figured this out?

Great - I can't type 'upper case B' followed by 'bracket' without it being converted into a stupid emoji wearing sunglasses

I brought mine into a local branch - I brought a passport, driving licence, and bank statement with me, and they certified them and scanned them up to head office to process - there was a 10WD lead-time due to Christmas holidays. I would suggest you call your local branch first to check if they can do this for you (if you have one).

I used their online secure message to get our account upgraded each time. It was done within 24 hours.

Sainsbury's is a pain, you need to open a new account to get each new rate, and manually transfer the balance.

This may be a world record. I sent a secure message to Shawbrook this morning asking them to 'upgrade' my account from 32 to 33.  Before I logged out I got a message in return saying that the account had been changed as requested. Can't fault them for speed! Other institutions may have left it in the in tray until Monday.

I have just made the identical request to Paragon asking for Issue 10 to become Issue 11.  I await their response.

There's no need to message Paragon. I just logged in, opened Issue 11and funded it with a full transfer from previous Issue account. All done instantly, previous Issue closed, new one opened and funded.

No need at all, I was just curious to see if they dealt with it in the same swift manner as Shawbrook. After an hour I hadn't heard a peep from them, so I did it myself. Shawbrook obviously have too much time on their hands.

Looks like my emergency pot is landing in Chase Monday. I was hoping Zopa would react.

Zopa easy access looks rather lonely now at 2.86%

Yep, ATBE, as at Monday, it will need 3.0% to make the ToTP cut.

Why not Tandem?
