trooperdore, I tried to open the Newcastle account yesterday, too.  Can you see the balance of your account yet?

Not yet, I did the same and sent £1.  The email says they'll write to me with my account number and user ID to log in online.  Seems a little odd that it then goes on to encourage people to send deposits before they can even access their account, so £1 is all they're getting until then.

Highlights include the Four Access Saver to 4.5% and First Home Saver to 5.45%

They took a while but not bad!

Decent move. Saves me moving :-)

NCB, when paying money in using your account number as a reference, do you only put the seven digits or the full account number such as DCD2277885SMI

If that’s your account number, remove it from the post - hopefully it isn’t.

You use their sort code and account number, and then the full reference in the reference field I.e. ABC1234567DEF

Apologies as this must have been asked before but how long do payments take in and out of YBS? TIA

Regarding authentication of nominated account for Newcastle BS before withdrawals can be made, i understand they send this out by post. Did i read somewhere here yesterday, someone said if you click request new code it is sent by email?

I looked to try and find the post but i don't see it.

~ 2 hours in, next day out (I think if requested before 8pm cut off, might be midnight)

User ID can be sent by email if you select forgot User ID. Don't think the same is possible with nominated account verification code, post only I think

spider42 said:You can choose whether you want monthly or annual when you open the account.

Thanks - in that case why would anyone chose annual over monthly? Doesn't seem there are any benefits?

If it's monthly and you don't withdraw interest the annual result is the same as if it's annual interest.

Some people prefer to see or withdraw interest monthly.

The result is the same if you keep the account open for 12 months and the annual interest is paid in 12 months time.  If you close earlier, you'd get a bit more interest opting for annual interest because you'd get the annual interest rate on closure. 

I think you are mistaken. Both monthly and yearly interests are calculated daily.

Yes, monthly interest is calculated daily at 4.22%, and annual interest is calculated daily at 4.30%.  But monthly interest is compounded monthly, annual interest is compounded annually.  That's the difference.  It takes 12 months for the interest on monthly interest to catch up with the annual interest rate.

I logged into YBS online banking and I can't see any interest rate change applied to their Loyalty Six Access E-Saver account (NLA).  It is still displaying a rate of 4.00%

If it stays that way, I'll be emptying it for Newcastle's Tracker.

Edit - my mistake.
