    I now have my Monmouthshire exclusive regular saver account number on my signature request letter. If I put this as the reference are the account number and sort code the same as for my regular saver issue 2. Want to get a payment in before September. 
    Yes, the other details are the same
    They didn't send me t and cs and I can't find on their site now. Am I  correct this is 12 payments, max £500 a month?
    Yes max is £500 a month.  It is still on their website.  Click on Savings, then Personal savins then general savings then scroll down and it's under exclusive saving accounts.

    MONBS RS
    I applied for this 22/8 & received signature letter today.  I’ve added account to ‘My Accounts’ & sent initial £500 by FP this morning. I’ll post signature form tomorrow & set up SO from 1 Sept as soon as £500 appears. 
    Signature letter dated 21/8 (day of application) received today and sent back today. Added the account successfully to the home page and sent £100 by FP today, intending to add £400 once it shows. Optimistic that it will be done and dusted in August for adding to it next month. 
    My Exclusive 1 matures on Friday but I wasn't prepared to risk waiting.
    My £500 sent yesterday morning is not yet showing in MONBS RS account. Account just shows ‘Pending’, but no balance. I had expected it to be credited today. 
    I sent a quid yesterday, not showing yet. It'll appear later this PM or tomorrow morning, going by recent deposits to other accounts.

    I think it normally takes 2 days for deposit to show, but it is credited on the date deposit was sent.

    Minimum they say to open the account is £50 though so would it show a £1

    I did the same yesterday but not showing. I'm assuming it will be returned anyway as it doesn't meet the minimum threshold of £50?

    I actually followed it up with a £499 FP today, rather illogically, keen to get a payment credited this month.

    I'm on the cusp of doing the same myself! I did send them a secure message asking to confirm if they'd received my £1 but no reply yet.

    I’m bored this afternoon & keen to get MONBS up & running & 1 Sept SO set up before I go away for 3 weeks this weekend. ‘Pending’ has now disappeared so assume they’re busy crediting yesterday’s FPs. Got a mental picture of ladies in full Welsh National costume, entering figures in a huge ledger in beautiful copperplate script. 
    Honestly, I’m not normally this obsessive & I do really like MONBS & Principality, even if they are a tad old fashioned.

    Those hard working ladies are probably now tucking into a nice slice of Bara Brith and a cup of tea.
    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.
