    I can't find  the YBS 8%  either on their website.
     It's also said on moneyfacts that you got to open the account  in branch or post?  Online to manage  accounts.
    Scroll down a bit, moneyfacts also lists on online bond version

    Hahaha…..I suspect we will all know when it’s available due to about 500 posts on here of people saying ‘opened and funded’ OR ‘the site has crashed’!!!
    Or ‘Delayed - YBS doing extra checks.’ This also happened to me with the Christmas version, but with none of my accounts opened before that.  

    £50 ready to go when YBS are - NS&I couldn’t have timed payment of Premium Bond prizes any better.

    There is a postal method for applying.

    Apologies for the misinformation in my earlier post then.

    In my defence moneyfacts was explicitly showing the account to be branch only opening so the info I had at the time was incorrect.

    @Special_Saver2 going forward for any new 12 month accounts do you think it would be worthwhile recording on the opening page whether a 13th month payment is possible?

    I know I would find it useful but I also don’t want to create too much work for you. 

    Maybe instead of deleting old ones you cut and paste them into a NLA list?

    You've nothing to apologise for yo! There's a certain amount of tea-leaf reading neccessary with these things.
    Even so I still hate posting incorrect info, even if the only available info is incorrect.

    I've sent moneyfacts a message asking them to amend their listing for the sake of accuracy, hopefully they'll update it soon enough.
