Im thinking of opening up a shawbrook account to hold a large sum as there rates seem ok I only need to make 2 or 3 withdrawals a year.

Are shawbrook a good choice?

I've had two 12 month fixes with them, the second maturing a few days ago. No issues, I'd happily use them again.

Snapdragon

Gatehouse RS
Is it just me? I'm really struggling with the application, it seems to constantly time out before I can complete it. Or I assume it is timing out, the continue button just doesn't work after the first few screens but it isn't showing any error message. I have tried 4 times getting slightly further each time, I've even tried having answers pre-typed and copy and paste, but I just can't supply all the information required for the set up before the continue button stops working!

So frustrating, think I'll just have to accept this one's not for me. Did anyone else have similar issues?

I remember somebody complaining about the same, but I applied twice without any problems and without trying hard to do this faster (Windows, FF).
Open windows side-by side and use drag&drop.

I found it very easy when I applied as a new customer from my PC using google chrome, although it was at the end of last month, so things could have changed since then.
 

What browser and from what device are you trying to apply from?

I was on a Laptop using Chrome. I'd accept I'm not a touch typists but never had speed issues when applying before but after 4 attempts each locking up by the bank account tab at the latest, I think I will just give up. I'm already paying more than £4000 a month into 14 Regular Savers which I try to ladder (although the RBS/NW/Coventry don't have an end date or at least not in the next 12 months) and the Gatehouse 7% seemed an obvious choice for my December RS. Hopefully someone will be along with a Christmas one shortly.

It worked fine for me in Chrome on a laptop.

Did you try cleaning your browsing history?

Did you try a different browser?

Snapdragon — I'd also try clearing the cache and/or the 'stored data'/cookies for that site. Good luck.

My FD regular matured last Saturday and today is the 5th working day after maturity and I still can't open a new regular saver.

How long do you normally need to wait before the system lets you open a new regular saver?

Go in chat and ask them to manually transfer the money. Mine matured yesterday and tonight I asked them to trasfer money and interests to my Fd account and they did it immediately. I opened a new RS also. 
It's the first lesson I had when I moved to the UK in 2008: "If you don't ask you don't get"
And, apparently, it is true 🙂
