    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.



    I applied yesterday also as a new customer. Had an email this morning to say account is open.
    Today applied for RS, had to provide same info as easy access application yesterday,
    Seems i have to call them to set up security pin before able to get online access.
    re West Brom. I had the same e-mail this morning and deposited £1. Called them to ask about ID for online access. I was told that it takes a day for the account to appear on the system, I should call tomorrow and they will give me the ID number.  The same with opening RS, I was advised to apply tomorrow.

    Maybe i jumped the gun a bit by applying for the RS today then.
    Will call them tomorrow about Security pin and can ask them if the RS application is ok

    Many thanks to both of you gentlemen for drawing attention to this. Very much appreciated. Account opened and funded.

    And many thanks from me too. The £50 makes exactly £2,000 a month leaving my Club Lloyds a/c. One of life's petty victories

    A mild £935 for me (this includes all 8% offerings and the Principality 2 year, which I am prioritising over a 6.2% fixed that only has 10 months to run, as unused allowance can’t be carried forward and I expect the account to be the best of the bunch in the second year.) I have others but likely won’t be able to fund the above from new money every month, never mind the others - so keep these to fund with maturity proceeds.

    I used the Maturity Winter link before reading the post with the secure message response, so have funded it with slightly more than the minimum and will see what happens. Closed mine early to fund a 5.9% 2 year fixed ISA and would also have preferred to keep it open with £1.

    I am currently abroad on vacation, on a Mediterranean island. I was able to open and fund the new Principality RS in minutes on my phone but can’t proceed with the West Brom application. They are very protective and won’t even allow me to look at their savings offerings.

    Always good to have a VPN. Can get them for next to nothing, even be paid to have them at times.

    Just added my RS up and I'm on about 2 grand a month as well - and a couple of them I'm not putting in the full amount either. Not sure if I can do that figure for too long whilst trying to top up my ISA but we'll see, easy enough to prioritise the 8/7% accounts.
