Principality website has been awful past few days so could be their fault.

Yes I think your right. Went on this morning and all went through without a hitch.
Thanks everyone just a little patience required in the end.

Cheers

For anyone who may be interested, Coventry BS sent a letter today about my First Home Saver maturing this month. Upon maturity it will become a First Home Access account, an easy access account that lasts for 24 months paying 2.85% AER variable.  Whilst they do supply all the terms and conditions for the account with the letter I'm not going to bother posting it as I suspect no one will be interested in it with that rate of interest.
Strangely I cannot find any information about the First Home Access account on the Coventry BS website.

Coventry BS
First Home Access account does not appear on their website as it is only available to customers with a maturing First Home Saver

Anyone else having trouble opening a new TSB Monthly Saver?

My previous Monthly Saver turned into an Easy Saver and had interest credited yesterday. I tried opening a new one but was told I’m not eligible. Decided to wait 24 hours.

Tried again today and I am still being told I’m not eligible. I may just need to wait a bit longer, but figured I’d ask in case anyone has any knowledge on the issue.

Mine matured yesterday. Waited for the web site issues to be resolved. Transferred the balance into my TSB current a/c. Then transferred the balance into another bank a/c. Then opened a new monthly saver......all done before 4pm yesterday.

Now I think about it, I couldn't open the new monthly saver whilst logged on to TSB. So, I logged out, went to the TSB web site, opened the monthly saver page and applied for an account. It prompts you to log in if you are already a member. Perhaps you could try using that process ?

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.
