The Summary information for the Saver says that it accepts payments from "other" bank accounts, so yes.

I send it straight from my Santander current account to the Coop Regular Saver.

I think in the early days there were issues funding CO Operative Regular Saver from non CO Operative accounts but I've always funded it from Virgin Money into my CO Operative Current Account then transfer into the regular

Has anyone enabled logging in with the method so many other societies use - a code texted to your phone and avoiding this authenticator stuff?

Admittedly not the question you asked, but authenticators are far superior.  It's a real shame that so few financial organisations have embraced them, and rely on text messages instead.  Text messages are better than nothing, but we've known about their limitations for years now.

Yes, you can.  I send my payments manually from Ulster Loyalty Saver.

I have no idea what’s happening with The Vernon. 

The website has the 6.5% as locals only. They sent me a generic email advertising the account describing it as existing members plus locals. The link in the email goes directly to their website (not surprisingly) where it’s locals only. 

Any existing members who are non-local who want the account might get in if they try. Or maybe 6.5% variable isn’t worth the bother.

Progressive BS Regular Rainy Day Saver


Reference number for deposits - I did the first payment by debit card but when I've set up the standing order from Chase for the rest of the deposits I also got a warning about the reference number.  The first SO won't go out until beginning of next month so was just wondering has anyone pushed past the reference number warning and seen a payment go through successfully?  I've tried to read back a few pages through the comments but can't see anything apart from people having a similar issue, apologies if I have missed something.

Yes, I pushed past the warning and the money arrived to Progressive, no problem.

Just opened the Progressive Rainy Day Reg. Saver. Process went fine, but had to scratch my head a couple of times about the Authenticator. Funded the account immediately £25 by debit card. That showed immediately.  

My nominated bank account could not be confirmed so I need to await a call. 

Followed up with a second payment, a FP from my bank with account reference. That hasn’t arrived yet. Anyone know how long that takes with Progressive?

I can't send it from my Co-Op account, so has to come from an external one

I think it's next working day. Paid in £280.00 last night, in the account just after lunch today.
