  • Thanks, opened!
    Only opened the £1000pm Saver Plus Issue 3 yesterday at 1.2%, just in time, as it now looks to have been withdrawn.
    How long did it take to show in your account?  Wish you could apply while logged into account
    Checked with them earlier and they told me it won't show until I have sent back the signature specimen form, however deposits only can still be made.

    But did you only become a member yesterday when opened issue 3?? 
  • Thanks, opened!
    Have you received an email reply from them?  I made an application for the Monmouth RS & it said that they would be in touch, however I've not received anything by email yet...
    AFAIK, MON BS do NOT send out e-mail confirmations, only the posted paperwork will confirm the account and then they'll need you to send back a signature specimen...see my post above.
  • I have sent them a secure message to enquire about needing checks as I have two open accounts already with them no need for checks

    No, I've had 4 previous accounts and have another RS with them maturing in 3 days time. When I queried the need for a spec signature when they already had one they stated they do it for online applications.
    MON BS are relatively new to online applications, my earlier savers were postal openings, hence no need for a signature.

    How can you make deposits if you cannot see account details and don't receive an email with the details.

    Applied online Weds, confirmed account open in post yesterday with account details, checked to see if funds could be immediately deposited and credited which was confirmed,  though as I said previosly I won't see it online until the signature form has been processed.

  • Just had a reply to my secure message telling me that applications are dealt with manually by staff and are not opened automatically

    Excellent, thank you.  I was worried that I may have made an error in my email address when I applied this morning!  I've never dealt with MON BS before.
    Thanks again
