I had stopped funding/withdrawn from NatWest in favour of 7%+ accounts so am pretty much starting again as of this month.

I too have withdrawn and reduced funding Nat West and RBS to £1 month, as I need to push the interest into the next tax year. I will exceed my PSA this year again, so I'm funding my lowest interest rate RS accounts with the smallest amount that I can.

Having a brain fart here and now.

For the Principality, what name do I use, mine or Principality.

I know my acc no is the ref.

I used Principality Building Society, Santander checked it and accepted it.

For paying in you should select business, Principality Building Society, sort code, account number, reference number.

You'll see this info at end of application, in online account & in email

Principality Building Society, selecting 'Business Account.' As I'm already funding a Principality account via Chase and they only save one reference now, I have today's new addition and the 2 Year Healthy Habits saved to my Nationwide payees with the descriptions '1Yr Triple Access' and '2Yr Fix' respectively.

A pain if your bank don't have a description field, as you need the reference to be the account number as you say.

Many thanks,

Now I just need to set up standing order for the first.

I selected personal account, and used my usual naming convention for the account name. I knew this couldn't match, and I simply accepted the mismatch.

My usual naming convention is LCbankxxxx, where bank is Princ for Principality, and xxxx the last four digits of the Reference or the Account Number where I have a personal account number. That way I can easily identify which of my several Principality accounts the payment is for.

My approach is similar. Always set them up as Business and use a meaningful description, otherwise (as is my case) I'd end up with four "Principality Building Society"s and needing to use the Ref as the determinant. That's bound to lead to mistakes.

I thought I read somewhere that the eventual intention was to strictly apply account verification so you couldn't pay to an account where there was a mismatch, meaning our aproach would no longer work. Hopefully that's either not true or a long way off.

I think you can select personal account for things but you are supposed to select business for simplicity/so things go through smoothly/at all.

Some building societies etc aren't that clear or have been clear on the how to fund things, thankfully never had any issues getting my money into regular/easy access savings so far.

Doesn't help things that Virgin for example doesn't recognise Principality Building Society as a business so you have to do the manual input thing

I used Principality Building Society 
Then Business as their email said.
