The 8% Yorkshire opened and funded but the £50 not showing yet - only been a minute. However you have to open the on-line version via the website right now (7:51AM) since it’s not an option in the App yet.

Edited to add funds now showing. Opened in a couple of minutes and no issues.

I still get "further checks" needed when opening a YBS account even though a member for years

I'm going to apply for the Melton account. In the past with postal applications, I've not sent a cheque and have just done a manual transfer in once I have the account details. Is this the most efficient way to do it generally or does sending a cheque for the first payment make more sense?

I laud the Loughborough's attention to detail on their retirement saver with £55-£550 limits, 55 year old entry requirement and 5.5% interest rate. However, I find the term of 60 months disappointingly sloppy.

For postal applications, including Melton, I've typically just sent a cheque to open the account, especially when opening accounts near the end of the month.

Having said that I've still got a £2.5k arranged OD facility on my Nationwide account (legacy of stoozing) so I don't have to keep money sat in a current account at a low/poor rate whilst I wait for the cheque to be taken.

It's worth noting as an aside that Melton BS will send out application packs in the post with prepaid envelope if requested, so there's no need to pay for a stamp.

Same here. ...member since 1990s, same address since 1992. I have 4 accounts at the moment.
I have had more accounts with YBS than I've eaten Yorkshire puddings!

Just tried logging into my new YBS account and I'm getting an error message. Is this a wide spread thingy? I'm a brand new customer.

Same here, 5 accounts with them already and want iD.

Just moved so no iD.
