Regular Savings Accounts: The Best Currently Available List!

And I’ve just gone for the Principality Issue 33. At £1 only with no monthly funding requirement there doesn’t seem to be a downside.

I’ve just applied as a new customer but living within catchment area, I too have to wait up to 3 days for account to be up and running provided my docs are ok.

I just uploaded photo of my driving licence and a pic of my signature on a sheet of blank paper, hope that will do.

Instantly received email confirming my application. All being well, should be funder in time.

Doesn't your driving licence have your signature on it ?

It's probably safer to upload a separate signature rather than upload the driving licence twice.

You can look on the Principality RS33 @5.5% Fixed as an easy access account with penalty free closure at any time. However you are restricted to saving £250 per calendar month. The best 1 year fix is 5.66% with metro bank. Rates are coming down and the RS33 @5.5% Fixed could soon become even more competitive, so opening one now with a £1 and then fully funding it, when better rates elsewhere are no longer available, makes good sense ("What have you got to lose" lyrics sung by Crosby Stills & Nash in "Judy Blue Eyes" comes to mind and reveals my age!)  Act now before it is replaced with an inferior RS34.

Absolutely. Plus the signature on the driving licence is minute, and the West Brom specifically ask for a photo of a signature to be uploaded, as well as one of the usual forms of ID

Yes you have a point and I didn't think of that but just to be safe I did it my way. That's my que for a song.

It's getting to the point where I'm no fun anymore. Love that band, happy days.

Do you mean why not to upload driving licence twice? It's always better to follow the instructions even if they don't make sense.  Copy of signature is an old fashioned thing, so is West Brom BS.

Have just been online but it seems you can't open the account through websave. I tried opening an account on their main website but it won't accept my websave account number. Also requires uploading of photo and documents.

@Malchester - I think if you remove the letters from the web save account number it should work. It went through for me.

I.e.
