My SRBS online is finally open. Took 5 working days. No sign of the RS yet, though I expect it will show in the morning. No sign of the passbook yet, either. But 2.5%, and and open-ended RS with limited withdrawal options sounds relatively attractive

I rang them today to be told due to the amount of interest in this account it was taking longer to sort, up to a week.

Similar experience here, applied Mon 15th, account opened first thing this morning

Your doing better than me, I applied on the 13th and still waiting.

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 accessed

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. 

I am not complaining, just reporting.

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.

Buckinghamshire Regular Saver Locals rate increased from 1.65% to   2.4%. This is an historical account and no longer available to open. Had an email this morning.

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% rise

Effective from what date?
I have not had the email and I have just logged on, the interest rate I see quoted still says 1.65%

This is good news, I have had this account since September 2016 I think I was surprised that there is no end date on it, I did reduce it to £50 a month, when I had lots of RS that paid more, but happy with 2.4%, although I haven't had this email yet, but I'm sure its on its way,

Im assuming this will be from September?
