Progressive
Several efforts to put in the carefully copied code to my phone when aiming to log on - all failed

Just opened this account last week!
I logged in last night and funded it with the first £300!

I had a few issues with the 5 stage opening process though!

Its was a laborious application!

First got warning message on my phone about browser not fully supporting the Progressive website!
Tried anyway, got to contact details, didn't like my Mob number, multiple attempts, both with and without the 0 at the beginning! 

Next issue, put in full post code, search results return all completely wrong addresses?

Can't progress to next stage, stuck refreshing page!

Gave up, switched to Firefox, still very glitchy, had to have SMS/email codes resent,  finally got the application accepted!

Log in is working ok for me so far, sometimes my SMS code takes a while to come through!

Paid first deposit with debit card, balance updated almost instantly!

The website is not really optimised for using on your phone, but I wont be using it much!

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*

I've also had this issue.  I just skipped my middle address (the address I spent least time at), and entered my current one, and the one I started the 3 year period at, and I got the account opened.  Not saying it'll definitely work if you do the same, but it did work for me to just not enter the second address.

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?

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 😒😌🙄

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