YBS Loyalty Regular eSaver 2023 7.0%

Apply today using existing login. It took me less than five minutes and it already shows on my List of account with AC no already shown. I got this massage on the account

"We're still setting up your account. Please come back tomorrow to make a deposit or change your account options. Withdrawals will be available in 14 days."

If only it were a massage :-) 

I had the same message when I set up mine the other day. The account was showing and I was happily able to transfer across funds from YBS Six Access eSaver that same day.

People will be ending up with multiple RS accounts unintentionally, due to repeated attempts following various error messages experienced during the application process today. The extra accounts will get closed down eventually.

Does the massage have a happy ending,?

If I remember correctly, NW is good at spotting offenders nowadays. At least it is based on my personal experience in the past and recently.

I opened my RS with Nationwide no problem but my wife has had the technical error message as well. Will wait to see if hers appear like people say it should.

Indeed. The quote is

You can only have one Flex Regular Saver Issue 2 account in your name at any time. You can't open this account in trust for the benefit of another person.

Re: Nationwide RS2. Applied, error message, no email, account appeared in app after a few minutes. 

Were you able to get past the income and employment section into the nominated bank account for withdrawals section please? Or did you get the error message before it reached that page?

I didn't see any question about employment, just income. I specified Retired as occupation.

Did she receive the welcome email ? If so, it's not uncommon for Nationwide accounts to take a while to show up in online banking - this can be as long as next-day in my experience, although this does depend on the type of account (these regular savers do seem to appear straight away though).

If she didn't receive the email and you've waited for at least an hour or so, I would try again.

I applied late this morning and, as I hadn't received the email by mid-afternoon (and the account hadn't appeared in online banking), I applied again and was immediately successful, receiving the email within minutes..
