Regular Savings Accounts: The Best Currently Available List!

Re. Mon BS. I received the form that also asked for a original or certified statement. I called them up, and when the rep saw that I'd paid one of the initial deposits by cheque, told me to note this on the form and that a statement wouldn't be required. The mandate ultimately went through fine without a statement. 

I do find it a slightly frustrating way of doing business but it did all get sorted out in the end. I think the advantage of the rather... quaint approach is that when you can get to the right rep they can do quite a lot. 

Nationwide, on the other hand... There's a problem with the current account switch in that their system didn't link it to my existing customer profile (I have my mortgage with them). They said they'd put it in the system, which would take 3-10 working days to resolve, and this is before we even get to the switch bonus or RS... 🤦🏽‍♂️

This is the joy of this particular hobby. But most hobbies don't *make* money

Is anyone else having trouble with the Tipton app? Firstly the Postal ID took almost 10 days to arrive (not the Tipton's fault) but the app either fails, blocks me or is on maintenance.

And whenever the app is on/available my phone becomes non responsive everywhere else - Chrome etc.

I've rang the branch and they say it shouldn't be under maintenance.

If it was an 8% saver I'd be more inclined to stick at it........what a pavlova 😬

I’ve reported the glitch with the Tipton app. I’ve found it’s unresponsive the first time, needs to be dismissed, login again, and it works. See if that happens to you as well.

I spoke to Monmouth today, and was told I could download a pdf of my bank statement and send it off.

What's their email address?

Sorry, I meant print it off and post it to them. I was told they just need to see the name, sort code and account number.

I downloaded the app yesterday with the intention of opening the Reg Saver but it wasn’t showing within the app. I rang to check and it was removed from app at the beginning of the week, branch only now .

Has anyone here, with one of the Bath Regular Savers, managed to re-register for on-line access? I had it before but now cannot re-register on-line or even through the app. Tried emailing Bath for help but haven’t had a reply. Wondered whether anyone else was having problems.

Yes finally achieved it after several attempts and waiting an age for the OTP to arrive. It is rather complex, so keep at it. Who knows why they changed from the old system. It was not broken and was much easier to navigate and use.

I had this too, yeah. When I first needed to input the ID I had to completely close it and re-open/re-login. I've not had any issues with it since then though to be honest. My only minor annoyance is it usually takes a day for any deposit to show up in it.

Chris the bee I finally managed to get into the app. It told me my account number was wrong and it was rejecting me… Then let me in anyway. But I’ve logged in and out a few times and sometimes it shows my regular saver, other times it tells me I have no accounts. It’s dropped my nominated bank account details but won’t load the page to let me provide the details again. Either I am having bad luck or anyone applying for a brand new account is going to have fun.
