Couple of direct debits shifted to an unused current account, so I can switch to a new Nationwide current account for the £200 bonus and then get their 7% regular saver. Hopefully both the bonus and the RS will be available for another couple of weeks....

Not certain Nationwide offer a 7% regular saver.

I get so excited when I see 20 unread comments on the regular savings thread, I think someone has launched a new 8% saver. Then I check the thread only to find 20 comments discussing the minutiae of the T&C’s of some   Mediocre account or how to make an extra two quid over the next year, it’s so disappointing.

But it's not all about you is it ?

Lighten up folks, it was supposed to be a joke

Is Tipton really only accessible via its app?

I think so, it's the only way I have managed my account.

They have a set up where either you apply and manage via the app, or you apply and manage via branch, they aren't interchangable either it seems, so you need to apply where you want to manage. Just no online management at all. It's a bit odd really. Nottingham with beehive have a somewhat similar set up but they have online management by virtue of the app just seemingly being a website wrapper instead of an actual app.

Re the Montmouthshire Building Society savers, I finally managed to get online thanks to a very helpful customer service advisor on the phone. I can see both my accounts - the Regular Saver @ 7% and the Exclusive RS @ 8%. However I only see the option to transfer money to another MonBS account, and no option to transfer money out. 

Does anyone know how you can withdraw from these accounts?

Bit quick innit? You've only just got the money in  there.

You need to nominate an external bank account to receive withdrawals. The form is here

I am not looking to make withdrawals right away - but would be good to have the option.

I did already specify a nominated current account when I opened the accounts, and can see that it shows up on the system though says “Awaiting Mandate”. Any idea what this means?

I got the code today by post to go online. I gave them details of my nominated account when I requested online access and now they ask me to send them either an original or certified statement of that nominated account.

Are they serious???? The next HSBC branch is ca. 40 miles away, since they closed the local one earlier in the year. Sent them now a secure message to check if there is another way. Paper is so old fashioned nowadays.

I am not going to download a statement, mark all the transaction black (not their business to know), go to the local library to get a statement printed and paying at a post office to certify that copy. If that's what they need, they can very well keep their accounts.
