You will get your account details in the post in due course, possibly before 31st August so that you can get 2 separate months deposits of £300 in by September 1. They were overwhelmed by their last RS offering and no doubt their systems will be under pressure this time as well.4

You can implore all you like but I'm not gonna be happy if someone who applied after me gets an account in August and I miss out. It's a cruel world and it's dog eat dog and I aim to be at the front of the queue.

Chorley Building Society are increasing the interest rates on some of their accounts.
Their Regular Saver (all issues) and Seasonal Saver (all issues) interest rates will increase from 5.00% to 5.15% w.e.f. 20th September 2023.
Further details here.Please call me 'Kazza'.6 -
Shocking how patronising some are and how arrogant others seem. Can we not just respect each other a bit more and try to understand that each and everyone is at a very different position and wealth level.
For some, £136 extra or whatever the final sum is vs. keeping it at 5% is a drop in the ocean and the effort to get it isn't in line with their preferences and therefore deemed as not worth it vs. a 2min job opening a reg saver with other institutions.
For others, £136 extra with the known complications of getting it is worth the effort. For me, totally worth the effort to try and get the account for myself and the OH. I'd rather watch 1h less of any rubbish on TV.
Mom BS is very old fashioned, the IT is is from yesteryear and how they managed the launch is once again a disaster. You would think that they test things before they push them online. Anyhow, they are known amongst the more regular forum users and rate chasers for that.
Let's be happy that a BS actually launched such a product in the first place and made a 7% saver available to all and not just to members like the Skipton Reg Saver.
Keep calm and carry on :-)27 -

Snapdragon said:arsenalboy said:I applied for both MBS accounts yesterday. Received an automated email this morning at 0832 to say an account has been added online and to log on to view.
When I logged in there was no messages or notifications. They had accessed my accounts at 0704 this morning it stated at top. It would only let me add account if I knew account number, so will have to wait for the letter to come eventually. Have not had the email for the second account yet.I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
I listen all night for your step on the stair.0
