Anyone else have a RS mature yesterday and yet they are still showing as unmatured today?
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.
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
Figures on £3900 were:
£154.19 and £176.22 on the 7% and 8% respectively and added online today.3 -

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.
My Exclusive 1 matures on Friday but I wasn't prepared to risk waiting.Honestly, I’m not normally this obsessive & I do really like MONBS & Principality, even if they are a tad old fashioned.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.0 -

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.

MonBSI 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 Julyreceived a reply the next day 12th JulyGot a letter to sign on 18th JulyPosted it 23rd JulyReceived passbook on 31st July1

I asked and they said they would be happy to accept this.6 -

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 officially1
