Spoke to London (Strand) branch who said forms could be emailed as well as posted 

Do you just take a photo of each page and then send a bunch of jpg's or is there some clever way of doing this?

Suspect that would be OK, but there are lots of apps which either scan the signed form to PDF or can convert your JPGs to PDF

There are various scan apps for smartphones which allow you to scan multiple pages into a PDF. On iPhones, you can also use the Notes app.

Do you mean they email to you  or you email the form to them. I received my form by email but was told I had to post back they need an original signature

I posted mine back but was told they will accept a scanned signature via email

Sorry should have said Furness allowed you to email copy of passport not applications. Good information for those not yet not opened an account but if it was me I would ask them during the phone call as with Chorley they looked out for my email

Ipswich BS has today pulled its RS paying 1.20%, and replaced that with a new issue paying a fixed rate of 1.00%.  Postcode restrictions apply, as usual with the Ipswich.

Looking at the website (https://www.ibs.co.uk/1-year-regular-saver) there appears to be no restriction on opening this account if you already have their other regular savers (or the most recent issue, which had a different maturity date), so hopefully this will become an account that can be opened with a new issue every few months.

YBS Loyalty RS. 

Sent application by post on Monday. Made a note on the form "please transfer £x from my savings account, or open with a nil balance and I will fund it on line". 

Account now open with a nil balance.

(I don't have a cheque book.)

Where was this announced? Can't see any customer emails/letter from Skipton as yet. My account has 'A' after the name so wonder if it's the same account.
