I'm on hold to Virgin Money Savings, busy, obviously.

Thing is while applying the need help phone number given is actually the current account phone line.

I don't think Virgin have thought things through, tested things out beforehand *SIGH*

So yeah, rang the number given, got transferred to savings, spoke to a guy about my issues, he's raised it with tech team and I've been told I'll be called back today or tomorrow 😒😌🙄

Have managed to open the account on the website for current accounts and paid in £1. How long before the account becomes visible online? I don't have the app. Or do I have to log in to their separate savings account portal?

Mine was immediate, both in online banking and the app.

Thanks. It's appeared online now

Just opened the current account and Regular Saver with no issues but trying to set up standing order from Chase to the Regular Saver and the details didn't automatically match .... has anyone else had this issue?

Yes, with Santander. Double checked account and sort code and sent it anyway. Showed up correctly within a couple of minutes.

Opened and funded. Can't say no to a 10% regular saver.

Try a different browser. You should be able to go to the resume an application part of VMs website, log in, and then it'll find the fact you started an application already.

Not a top one but one to possibly keep an eye on:
Darlington BS to launch a 12 month regular saver at 5.1% tomorrow (£250/mth max). Account allows 2 withdrawals/yr excluding closure.

Account is now showing on their website. https://www.darlington.co.uk/savings-account/12-month-regular-saver

However it won't let me apply. It just hangs indefinitely on: 

Loading product information
Please wait, retrieving product information...

If I try refreshing the page I get:

Product no longer available
Unfortunately that Savings product is no longer available.

Has anyone managed to apply successfully today?

Impressed with Tipton. My RS matured yesterday, my maturity instructions were to close the account and pay the balance to my current account at Santander. Money was there when I logged in at 7am this morning

The account was closed and transferred to me in the middle of the night, but my slight annoyance is that there are no statements (unless something is due in the post?) and the account has now vanished from the app, which somewhat stuffs up my interest spreadsheet. I've deducted the 13 x £500 deposits and the £49-odd interest that I luckily noted from last year so with the remainder it should tally up with an extra £167.95 interest this financial year

Hardly difficult to work out the exact interest, as you have proven 😎

It is also hardly unique that you no longer have online/app access to closed accounts.

A closing statement might well arrive in the Post in the next few days. If it doesn’t, and you must hava a closing statement, I am sure you can request one.
