Wife and I received our Monmouthshire passbooks yesterday. Added both accounts onto online banking and both showed as pending with zero balance.

Sent 2 x £300 FPs yesterday evening.

Just checked both accounts and both are still pending with zero balance.

Money not returned so I assume they have not been processed yet.

Will wait until Monday before contacting them.

I sent through my £300 yesterday and it's still not showing online today.  I phoned them and a very friendly agent explained that they had received it but it won't show until tomorrow.  The monies goes to a bank first and then gets allocated.  Slow but sure!

Could I politely suggest the intricacies of opening and operating the Monmouthshire account be taken to another thread?  The conversation is quite detailed, so it's difficult to keep track of what is actually being talked about.  Plus my email inbox is filling up very quickly!

We had this a few months ago, I would advise people to turn off email alerts.

Agreed. Posters need to realise this is a thread devoted to discussing the best regular savers currently available, which as far as I can see we have been doing re the Monmouthshire which has been very useful.

If posters do not like such 'commentary' then why not turn off your notifications. Glider was 'guilty' him/herself of this when discussing Bath's products earlier this year, and in one post even explained how the NHS is structured

liamcov I think some posters need to take a sedative and lie down they whine at the slightest thing unless it is their whine.  If they feel so strongly about it, they should start a thread themselves.  When I retired I was a novice about savings and every posters comment has assisted me.

My Coventry RS3 matures on 09 September so I'm hoping for a smooth handover!

The 9th is a Thursday, if Coventry operate the one day forward thing they did with me, the weekend may get in the way. Follow what I did and I think you may be lucky. 

Monies from my RS3 appeared in my current account sometime this afternoon.  Good work Coventry!

That's not a Regular Saver, it is just a fixed rate savings account. 1.32% AER for 1 year fixed is amongst the less desirables as there are about a dozen 1 year fixed accounts that pay a better rate.
