Monmouthshire RS

Anyone else have a RS mature yesterday and yet they are still showing as unmatured today?

Yesterday was a Bank Holiday so they will not have processed the maturity/withdrawal until today. Should appear in your MONBS online tomorrow (Wednesday)

I hope you're right.

Seeing two both as RS the day after maturity isn't normal for the dozens of other RS I have - even with the BH considered.

Hopefully they received the postal maturity instructions as they once again didn't advise me.

It's a shame the maturity instructions online aren't a little more sophisticated to include all permutations.

I'll be interested to see that the final bounced £300 (and recredited) payment has accrued the correct level of interest too.

Monmouthshire RS 
You may not receive interest on the lost 5 days. I complained and received compensation plus lost interest:

Reimbursement based on 7% for 5 days of interest on £300.00 - £0.29

Reimbursement based on 8% for 5 days of interest on £300.00 - £0.33

I have a message which says they will adjust it, the interest, so 🤞 

Monmouthshire RS maturity interest 

Figures on £3900 were:

£154.19 and £176.22 on the 7% and 8% respectively and added online today.

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’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.

The hard working gentleman was not doing that when I went in branch at 4.40 today. I phoned them earlier to find my online application from last Wednesday had gone walkabout. Went in and 10 minuters later had a new shiny passbook with £500 deposited. Normally it would take longer but as one lady said if I have already applied online I would have already seen the T&Cs.

Am I to understand that they had lost and/or had no record of your account opening? I applied last Wednesday and haven't heard anything from them. I may just go into a branch tomorrow.

I've been waiting a week today for something in the post.

A rough guide, but everyone's will be different as it will tell them in the maturity instructions and those amounts are certainly not the maximums of what could be earnt.

I had gone through the account opening process online on the evening of the 21st. When nothing had arrived in the post by today I called them up and after some time on the phone they said they would look into it further and call me back. I missed the call but they left a message on my voicemail that they had no record of my application and suggested that I apply online again. As I live close enough to be able to go into a branch I decided to restart the process in person instead.

MonBS

I also had my online application disappear to be told to apply again, perhaps their system doesn't like the first time you apply for an account with them? I sent them a message via their website and requested a call back however only received an email to be told that they didn't have me on their records and to reregister, so I made sure that I took a screen shot at the end of the process and sent it in a reply email, then didn't hear anything till I received something in the post a week or so later.

Applied on 20th June where it said they needed to "do electronically checks"

Sent message via website 11th July

received a reply the next day 12th July

Got a letter to sign on 18th July

Posted it 23rd July

Received passbook on 31st July

Re: MONBS RS 

If it helps, and you have digital access to the mons.com website (or app?), then you can send them a digital image of your signatory form via secure message. I asked and they said they would be happy to accept this.

Hey just wondering about the 7% Progressive account, I know MSE link to it, but it doesn't appear to be linked to from their savings pages, just wondering if it's still a thing from them, like officially

So how do I do this, I still waiting for a form in the post. Is one available online that can be filled in. I'm a long standing customer with several accounts with them.
