Summary details says "For opening deposits made by electronic payments, you must send your initial deposit within 14 days, or the account will be automatically closed." In cases like this, I normally write on the application form that electronic payment of opening deposit will be made on receipt of Account Number.

Tipton answer this on the website:

“Accounts can be opened at any of our branch offices, no appointment is necessary. If you can't get to a branch you can open an account by post, send us your application form and a cheque for your opening deposit.”

Tipton App is the way to go with opening their new Rs@6.2%. Opened and funded in a few minutes.

Thanks to "Janusdesign" for avoiding the slightly painful postal application method.

Yes, It took me about 1 minute to open and receive the account number on the app.

Thank you for the info. Did you fund the new account before you received the postal ID reference?

Two weeks have passed since I registered for MBS's 'My Accounts', but still no activation code by mail.

I phoned them today, and after being on hold for 5-10 mins, a nice, helpful guy answered, and having confirmed my identity, gave me a user ID and asked me to log in. It worked, and one of the two RSs was there - when I asked if I had to manually add the Exclusive RS, he said he would do it for me, and it should be there once I logged out and back in; after the call, I simply refreshed the page and the second account was there!

A nuisance to have to wait for their snail mail processes, not to mention not yet receiving the code, but the phone call was much better than hoped, and now all good!

I shall hopefully call them tomorrow at some stage, might have to wait until Wednesday as in the office tomorrow, I’m at three weeks although have funded 3 accounts and had confirmation they have setup my nominated account.

I already have a Tipton account and the App. I applied via the App and not via the post. Not sure what you mean by "postal id reference". There was no request for ID. Got a confirmation text from Tipton. I funded the new account as soon as I had my account number. New account is showing in the App. £250 first deposit not yet showing in the App, but I am not concerned. It will probably show up tomorrow.
