    Market H RS Issue 2


    Link now working again.

    As already being registered for online access, it told me to log-in and click "apply" but doing that only offered the 3.5%RS. So I applied as an existing customer (and said I was not registered for online banking) and used my existing password/memorable details. Account successfully opened


    Just followed your message to the letter and it worked, thanks drphila.

    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.

    Thanks - will give this a go.

    Cheekily tried to apply for another issue 1 too, but subbing out the 2 for a 1. MHBS do deactivate old product links :(
    If you want me to definitely see your reply, please tag me @forumuser7 Thank you.

I research before my posts, and I never intend to share anything that is misleading, misinforming, or out of date, but don't rely on everything you read. Some of the information changes quickly, is my own opinion or may be incorrect. Verify anything you read before acting on it to protect yourself because you are responsible for any action you consequently make... DYOR, YMMV etc.
  • Good luck to all trying for the second MHBS saver.

    I'll only 

    a) make a mess of it

    Or

    b) get confused and lose track of what I'm doing

    So I'll stick with the one saver.

    17 is enough at this point anyway 😀

    Market H RS Issue 2


    Link now working again.

    As already being registered for online access, it told me to log-in and click "apply" but doing that only offered the 3.5%RS. So I applied as an existing customer (and said I was not registered for online banking) and used my existing password/memorable details. Account successfully opened


    Just had a go at this now as the link had been taken down by the time I wanted to apply on 24th.

    Can I ask if others who have the original fixed term RS and now have the 2nd, do their accounts look similar to this below or have I somehow got the wrong product? The one with the £1006.43 balance is the older one.

    I did follow the link above kindly supplied by drphila, but wonder if the application got shifted sideways somehow. Also, I can't see the interest rate anywhere on the account called "1 Yr Reg Svr Iss2 - XXXXXXXX". I guess if it somehow has been shifted to a different product, I have 14 days to cancel it!

    Don't worry I did the same as you and my account looks the same as yours, the interest rate will show once you have funded the account. I sent £250 to my account and it took almost 2 hours to arrive but it has now arrived and account showing 6% so you should be fine.

    This is perfectly OK and is the same as mine. You wont see an interest rate until the account is funded.

  • Thanks TD14, that puts my mind at rest! .. Phew! 

    I funded Issue 1 with £250 in December so it's Issue 1 @ £10 and Issue 2 @ £240 on Jan 2nd  :)
