Nationwide effective 1st May

Start to Save Issue 2 -> 5.25%
Flex RS -> 4.25%, but if 4 or more withdrawals 1.70%

I wish Nationwide opened up their Flex RS again...I don't see why they've stopped anyone applying for it for the last 6 months or so, since it means the only regular saver they have open to applicants is the Start to Save one.

I sent mine 1st class on 21st and heard nothing yet - perhaps I'd better contact them?

It might depend on the branch you sent it to.  I've mine sent to Monmouth branch, it could be that some other branches are more busy.

I sent mine 1st class on the 22nd to the head office address and have just received the passbook today's post. Letter states 'Thanks for opening..... at our Chepstow branch', and passbook shows it opened yesterday, so I presume they are sharing applications across the branches, but seem to be turning them around reasonably quickly.

Mine went off 1st class on 20th, passbook received today. Pretty good since new member and I'd put MonBS as payee on cheque rather than me.

With a bit of luck, you are just one day behind. I also posted my cheque 1st class to MONBS HQ on the 21st.

Received the passbook with cheque credited April 27. As of now, the cheque doesn't even show on my current account, not to talk about having cleared. Great service from MONBS this time round, looks they definitely have their act together on this one. Although as always.....online application, and doing away with the passbook/cheque malarky would be even better.
