    Maybe they've taken them down
    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?
  • I assume their antiquated system can only cope with limited volume of applications PLUS.....it's their AGM today so staff will be busy elsewhere.

    Whilst I appreciate the links, these have not officially been released yet and are not publicly available
    I think it's a dangerous game to be pre-empting links and applying prematurely as you found out previously with Principality.
    Also, many of us know about the problems MONBS have experienced in the past with new a/c applications and I think doing this could exacerbate any potential problems.
    Best to hold your horses until it's publicly released.
  • They ARE shown on the MBS web site so they are public and have been released.

    Just applied for their very uncompetitive easy saver just in case they make the accounts only available to those having been a customer before the product launched as I am sure they will get swamped with applications again. Tried to avoid them after their Christmas Saver chaos last Christmas.

    Sadly, they are still one of those with IT from the past decade and the account isn't opened straight away and they have to send stuff by snail mail. Going on holiday on Friday for 2.5 weeks won't help either
    How did your application go? I applied after cob yesterday but haven’t heard anything as yet, again applied for the easy saver to have an account. Manual ID checks?
    Application went through yesterday afternoon. OH applied in the evening for the same account. We both did not hear anything back. No email no text, as it never happened.

    Both are online and showing on the overview page: https://www.monbs.com/savings/personal-savings-accounts-general-savings/



    EDIT: Applied for both accounts now. The terms on the Exclusive Reg Saver are a bit vague imho. Let's see if they honour it with me having applied yesterday for an Easy Saver or not.

    The lack of email confirmation (only a screen confirmation).and inability to apply online as a logged on existing customer with pre populated fields is always a pain
