Principality's Maturity Winter Regular Saver Bond appears to be now no longer ``officially" available.

For those that don't read the EA thread...Just to add it's ONE device only, Android/iOS. Very quick to install/set up.

Coventry BS have finally launched their own app (mentioned in their members blog) - installed the android version, registered and it seems to work fine.

Hi, I’m Phil Boon, I head up our Digital teams here at CBS. I wanted to do two things in this blog. Firstly, thank you to some of you for your valuable input over the past few months in helping us shape the app. And secondly, I’m thrilled to announce the successful launch of our new app into the app store late last week. We wanted to run a few quick tests over the weekend before letting you know this morning – but I see from some of the forum posts you’ve already found it!

For those involved in the testing process to get us to this point – we couldn’t have done it without your valuable contributions and were delighted and humbled by the passion and dedication our members have shown throughout. Your insights, feedback, and commitment have been the driving force behind creating an app that we believe will enhance yours and other members digital experience with CBS.

But this is just the beginning. We have many exciting plans in store for the future, and we can’t wait to share them with you. Your continued feedback and enthusiasm will be crucial as we evolve and expand our digital offerings. We hope that the app will start or continue to be a key way you interact with us, and will provide the service you’d want to see.

Once again, thank you for being an integral part of this incredible journey. We look forward to hearing your thoughts on the app and embarking on the next chapter of innovation together.

Anyone have a link to the members' blog please?

here is the link to the actual blog post - but I thought there was little point in posting that link in my original post on the EA thread as the Coventry BS Member Panel is invite-only and you would have to login to view the post... hence why I copy & pasted it.

My invite to join the panel came via email in Dec 22 - I don't think you can cold register, so you might need to secure message CBS if you want to join the panel.

btw - there are a couple of users complaining about the location issue with the app in the comments section of the above blog post.

I too was apart of the experimental group for the App. I really enjoyed using it and providing help where I could. I was given a wonderful £20 voucher to spend for my input, which I thought was very kind. I tell you what, it's one of the best banking App's I've ever used and certainly very secure unlike a few others I could mention!

Off thread but wow your signature is long 

Am glad everyone doesn't have so much text in theirs as threads would become very difficult to read.

I can't see any sign of a Coventry BS app?
Googled as usual, nothing.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cbs.prod

Here is the iOS version: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/coventry-building-society/id1640448632

Mildly irritating, but it seems like they only made an iPhone version and did not also make an iPad one. The iPhone one will obviously run on an iPad. It just seems slightly short sighted to not do both at the same time. They could then tick the box to let the iPad version run on Macs.

I hope they create an iPad version, and also allow us to be 'registered' on multiple devices at the same time.

I used it the other day to transfer into my RS and it was very helpful and quick, but I had to put down my iPad and find my phone first as that is my registered device. Yorkshire BS is another culprit for this, alongside chase, Monzo, and until recently First Direct.

Furness Christmas RS at 6% has now disappeared from moneyfacts, suggesting it is about to go NLA.

I guess with Snailmail you can still apply even if taken offline today. 

Here is the application form, as it will probably disappear from the website https://we.tl/t-4v1XUWsXKK

Below the entire product page, just in case ;-)

I took the liberty of archiving the product page to the wayback machine about a month ago, the link is listed on the Archived List Of Regular Saver Terms And Conditions thread

If you follow the "Download application form" link on the archived website page you will find the application form archived on there already (though it is a very generic application form that can be used to apply for their other savings accounts so I imagine it may remain on their website a while).

... was included in yesterday's 'Be Clever With Your Cash' 'Savings - best rates ...' youtube video Edit: Is still referenced on Andy's website.

Edit: but is absent from today's weekly newsletter e-mail. was not mentioned in last week's either.

You can request an application pack by telephone. AIUI, if they will still send one out to you, you are logged as 'in the application queue' and your application will be accepted if received in reasonable time, so maybe an easy way to get your foot in...

You'd expect a common end date on a Christmas account - but it's a full year from opening on this.
