    For the Saffron Members Regular Saver, how long has it taken for other's accounts to be opened?  I applied in their online banking last week, but haven't heard anything since.
    I managed to open a "Enviro" account, but neither of my main banks would let me pay in, despite opening new accounts with other building societies , before and since.Gave up.
    Do you perhaps mean that you didn't get a successful CoP match (which doesn't actually prevent payments)?
    Main bank put up an extra security blank page which I couldn't by-pass and similar with my other bank. Tried several times. Have until the 30th.to send a cheque or maybe not.

    How blank? Is your browser or one of its security extensions blocking the content of that page, e.g. by not allowing an external script to run?

    Does anyone have personal experience of making a 13th payment towards a Cambridge BS Regular saver? Any idea if accepted or just gets returned?? 
    Have you accidentally sent a 13th payment or are you hoping to earn an extra 25p interest for the £100 for a month?

    Think it was the old Verisign.  check in security page but without any writing and three small blank spaces at the top. Just a throw back, subsequent deals went OK and SO's and all payments went out normal.

    When the saving account of 1.2% drops to 0.55%, you try to find the next best saving account, and for those who didn't like it 1% when you have 1.2%, you have to change your approach now.....
