Had an email from West Brom BS saying my new Regular saver was now open and included deposit details, however when i go to make a faster payment transfer from my Halifax current acc  it says account not recognised?

It can take 24 hours for the Confirmation of Payee service to recognise a new account. 

Out of interest when did you apply?  I am also waiting for a new account to be opened by them.

I applied on 22 Dec

I was on the phone to WB just as you posted. I applied on 23 December. The very helpful agent told me that my application was due to be completed and account opened today.

Think I may add monies to my saver account with them ready to transfer across when it's all done, I hope that it works.

Ditto.

Please let us know if you manage to get a payment to your new RS today, I'm failing

RS account now opened - can't send monies to it. And the transfer to my EA hasn't yet been registered so am resigned to doing it tomorrow.

Re funding a new account:-  most banks will allow you to fund a new account that isn't on the COP database yet.  As long as you are sure you have entered all the details correctly, I would suggest making an initial deposit of £10, followed by a second deposit once you are satisfied the first one has been received.

None of the four banks I've tried today have allowed this (neither app nor online). Think it must be a function of WestBrom's banking setup.

That thread's just full of bitching about what should go in which thread when. Contains nothing useful, more appropriate to post here.

Because people don't like change, it's been agreed this thread is old & to transfer over to the new one by the OP & the person taking over.

If there's an issue in regards to confusion I've made suggestions in the new thread.

As it's a new thread etc there's going to be a few issues because it's new, I'm sure things will be sorted in time, just bare with.

Fair enough.

Lock this thread then, that'll learn 'em (and me).
