OPened my new one same day. No probs

Same here. I started the application process in the app, got transferred to their website and had the account opened and visible in the app within 60 seconds. 

Only niggle I had was that I could not make my initial deposit through an internal transfer from my TSB current account, but a Faster Payment from a non-TSB account worked fine.

I can’t think of a reason why it shouldn’t be possible to open a new RS once the old one has matured. Apart, that is, this is TSB……a case for their CS if it doesn’t work for you, I suppose

Apparently the MHBS Fixed Term Saver has been moved to branch only.

Website shows it has become branch opening only, however the online application link still seems to be live for now:

It seems that the Internet's Wayback Machine (archive.org) has been hacked and subjected to a DDOS attack. Whether because of this or as a precaution it's offline.

Anyways, it does mean that @Bridlington1 's most useful list of Regular Saver t&cs is unavailable.

In the interests of keeping this thread on topic I've replied to your post in the General Discussion and Whimsical Banter thread.

You can transfer from a TSB account if you set it up as an external transfer from whichever TSB account you want to use, to your TSB RS.

I've just applied - the account hasn't been confirmed yet and it's possible they may ask me to go into branch to confirm something I suppose. Will let you know!

Monmouthshire BS - online withdrawal facility

Upon adding a current account for withdrawals I've received a letter by snail mail asking me to confirm the account details and an evidence in a form of original bank statement. I presume the statement should be for the account in question. The problem is of course that I've registered for online statements ages ago. Am I right in thinking that statements from online banking don't count as original? Are there any known workarounds?

Which bank? You can often request one off paper copies free of charge.

Lloyds. When I try to order a statement online I get a message: We're sorry, but the statement sheet you requested can't be ordered online. Please contact your nearest branch to order.
