New Gatehouse Bank customer - RS@7%. Got timed out of my first online application and I am no slouch. I didn`t even click on T&C`s etc. 2nd time there was no hanging around and I completed ok. First £300 deposit made straight away from nominated account - reassured by Confirmation of Payee acceptance - I presume COP takes into account the reference.I will get user ID in welcome pack in post in due course.Is it advisory to install their App as well? Will I be able to see my initial deposit quicker via the App?0

I'd agree though that with a £1 minimum deposit and the ability to skip months it is worth opening, though £1 is all they're getting from me for the next few months at least due to my circumstances.many thanks for posting about the speed of EA payments - I was on that exact page of the application when you posted, dithering about whether to fund from nominated account or GH EA... as you say, EA transfer was instant... it seems you can make manual transfers from EA to RS too, so although the t&c says that deposits are only accepted from the nominated account, it looks like internal transfers might be acceptable too for future deposits.I couldn't see a scheduled option in the Android app, though it is there when I log into the online banking site - personally, i'll do it manually each month on the 1st as I have others to do on the same day.while i'm here, my First Direct RS gets it's 12th payment on Saturday (or soon after) - should I manually remove the standing order afterwards, or will FD do that automatically after maturity on 2nd Jan ?FD works great apart form taking upto 5 days to pay funds, close account and DD.As soon as they do I start a new Regular saver with them.
For FD, if you open a generic savings account before maturity (or have one left over from a previously matured RS), then the process is quicker. Also in a pinch you can call them and get them to manually transfer the maturing funds to your current account if you need the money sooner

You should get a text and email to say deposit has been credited.0 -

I had a look at the Android app but the reviews are very negative so didn't bother with it.1 -

I got my user ID from Gatehouse by email about 3 hours after I opened my first Gatehouse account over a year ago, the welcome pack confirmed it.
I can't say I've ever installed the app (I'm at the point where I have to uninstall other apps to be able to install new ones so only really download apps if I have to). I don't think using the app makes any difference as to how quickly payments show.2 -
I use the Apple app on my iPad.
It’s not much cop.
As all you can do is see your accounts.
Fixed, Easy access and Regular saver.0 -

If your only account with them is the RS, it might not be worth your while to install the app. May be install it and see for yourself.

Re: Gatehouse. I used to have an ISA with them that I switched away for better interest rate. My online account appear to be alive, and I was able to log in, but couldn't apply afterwards, because "all my accounts are closed". Had to apply as a new customer, a bit of pain.
