    Furness - Had the email explaining the launch of the new online and App. You need to register for the new service before 30/8/24 to continue to access accounts online and get the App. If you have an ID document eg passport - "you don't need to do anything yet, we'll contact you as soon as we launch."
    "Savethepandas" - have you no ID? did you sign up using the form? did you then receive a 2nd email saying it was available? Then you were able to proceed?
    I have ID, so I presume I wait for them to contact me and don`t bother with filling in the form?
    Remember, its not just the App that`s launching - its the online access. So if you don`t re-register before 30/8/24 you will lose all online access after that date.

    i feel like they only seem to be progressive by name…

    I received the call from them when it didn’t like my ID, they told me my ID was fine and to try register again and to click “don’t have photo ID” so it will flag their end and they will accept it. I get all the way through the registration process and after picking marketing preferences it gives me another error.

    I don’t expect to hear anything from them now till Monday… feels like this has been the most error registration I have had 😅

    I've had a lot of difficulty too and after finally getting to the end of the registration part and submitting, I got that same error message on the marketing preferences page. 

    I'm getting the same from the Progressive.  I've tried in Chrome on my laptop and mobile, and the Microsoft browser on my laptop.  None of them seem to allow me to complete the registration.

    Has anyone figured out how to make their website work?
    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?

    ME TOO, I sailed through the sign up process only to be given an error message on the final screen, told to ring up. What a pain in the butt.
    I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
    The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
    There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
    I listen all night for your step on the stair.

    Registered interest on 23/06, got confirmation email straightaway.

    Email from Furness on 04/07. 'Get started today! Your new digital savings journey is unlocked...'

    06/07, used pink 'Start your journey now' button on email of 04/07.

    Needed either passport or driving licence to register. I used my passport: photo of passport, then selfie. OH worked straight away, I lost my internet connection when I submitted, so had to do some fiddling to get it to submit.

    For me it worked perfectly in Safari on my iPad.

    Progressive. I've made three or four unsuccessful attempts, both on desktop (Chrome) and phone (Safari).  Then I called and spoke to a human who helped me to open the account.  Waiting time for the call to be answered was about 10 seconds and the whole process took about 4 minutes.

    Looking at the faff some are experiencing while opening the Progressive BS RS at 7% variable, I've decided to plump for Skipton Member RS 3 @ 7% Fixed.

    Lower maximum deposits, I believe, but seems the more practical atm.

    They must have been inundated with people trying unsuccessfully trying to open the account over the weekend, as I've been waiting for an hour to speak to someone!
    Seems like an IT system not up to the job again
