    I didn't have a YBS previously account, but it's this sort of offer that makes it useful to have accounts with more Building Societies.
    I opened an Easy Access Saver with them online Today to be ready for offers next year. Need to pop into a branch with ID, but there is one nearby and I can combine that with my next trip into town for food or medication

    This is not investment advice.
    Your money may go "down and up and down and up and down and up and down ... down and up and down and up and down and up and down ... I got all tricked up and came up to this thing, lookin' so fire hot, a twenty out of ten..."

  • O happy day!!!
    Just requested pack to be sent out.
    I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
    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.
  • YBS.  I requested a pack to be sent to open their new RS but have just received an email referring to Your Maturity Statement, so I hope they send me the right form. I might try ringing.
  • Same happened to me so used their online chat and they have requested a call back for me. I don’t think this account will be available for long with the good rate

    YBS.  I requested a pack to be sent to open their new RS but have just received an email referring to Your Maturity Statement, so I hope they send me the right form. I might try ringing.
    The email says ...

    "Thank you for your request.
    If you have requested an application pack, this will be sent to you by post and should arrive within the next 3-5 days. Once you return your signed application form, we can then arrange to transfer your savings into the new account.

    If you requested a callback as you are not sure which savings account you want, someone from our team will be in touch shortly."

    As the web site says it can be opened over the phone, I will wait for the call back.
  • How’s this for service,

    Just filled out the request form online for RS pack, on the drop- down box I put in my local agent for YBS as we don’t have a full blown YBS.

    Well, ten mins later my local agent rang me and said, why don’t you call in later to day and we can get it all set up for you.

    Who said something about how these set ups run on antiquated systems?

  • Excellent, if you don’t mind going in.

    I know I should not complain as it is such an excellent account, but I'll have a little moan anyway. The only way you can open this account atm is by Post. No account opening possible in Branch just now. They need to send you the application form by snail mail, it can't be downloaded, or emailed to you. Imagine how much interest they could pay you if they didn't have ancient processes!. 
    Application form and information etc is sent by email for you to download.

    I would have gone into my local Branch but they are not doing face-to-face account opening atm.
