    Oddly, your nominated a/c from which the first payment must be made to Beehive cannot be a Chase a/c, but subsequent payments can be.

    Is your Chase account the nominated account for withdrawals? First payment must be from nominated account thereafter future payments can come from any account.

    Beehive/Experian don't recognise Chase, therefore you cannot set it up as a nominated a/c. Confirmed by CS
    So you have to use another bank as the nominated for the first payment/withdrawal and then can you Chase for any further deposits.

    Is Beehive Money regular saver an app only account ?
    Looks like it is.  I've had an account with Beehive years ago, tried to login using my old details, it didn't work and I couldn't find any way of opening this account online so I had to get the app.  It didn't take too long to download the app and open the account. Now funded, we'll see how long it will take for money to arrive, but I hope it will arrive today.
    I opened it online, so not app only. I'm also waiting for test payment to show.
    Can see my deposit in the app now.  It took about 15-20 minutes to arrive.
    Thanks - mine was a £1 test - bounced back, 'below minimum opening..' but confirms no errors so £250 sent just now.
    It says somewhere on their page - £10 minimum deposit to open the account.  I usually do £1 test, but this time triple-checked the account number and deposited the whole sum in one go.  In the past £1 followed by the rest of deposit on the same day triggered blocked transactions and half hour conversations with fraud departments, I didn't want to leave it until tomorrow, just wanted to get it done and dusted. 
    I got the same but the email you get after opening the account says £1.
    Your Online Fixed Regular Saver is all ready for you. Now, there’s just one thing left to do: start saving!

    Make your first transfer
    You need to make sure your first deposit is for at least £1.
    True! They contradict themselves. My guess is - £1 is Beehive generic and £10 is specific to this account.

    That's what it appears to be according to moneyfacts:

    That's how it appears on Beehive website. However, the e-mail sent after opening says Make your first transfer
