I received my passbook today. It must have been processed for issue immediately as my deposit is not showing and a lot of information online banking which I have already successfully accessedtrickydicky14 said:

The account does indeed show this morning but the deposit I made last night still doesn't. Suppose it will all show tomorrow, or Monday at the latest.Daliah said:My SRBS online is finally open.

I am not complaining, just reporting.2 -
Just to add to the Stafford RS comments - applied around 4pm on Wednesday (17th) - two sole accounts and a joint - received user id via text around 1pm on Thursday. Immediately sent a £25 test (faster) payment.
Accounts still showing a balance of zero this morning, so sent a query via email and rep responded pretty quickly / advised that their backend systems not directly linked to the online display systems and balances can take up to 24 hours to update, but they could see that the £25 payments had been applied.

Excellent, I have one of those. They didn't increase after the last 0.25% so have at least now passed on the full 0.75% rise0
