Nationwide fixed 1yr bond ?

Just opened a nationwide 1 year fixed rate bond (yes rate rubbish,but i have my reasons) and funded it with cash from my Nationwide flex online saver with a transfer.
However nothing is showing up when I log in to show the account is opened,money taken from the online saver but transaction not showing.
Does it normally take time for the new account to show up online?
TIA

    Yes, it usually takes a couple of days before the newly opened account appears in internet banking or the app.

    WOW. Settling for 0.4% when you can easily get up to 1.5%. 😭😭

    Not quite as easily as pressing a couple of buttons when you're already logged into your online bank.

    "(yes rate rubbish, but i have my reasons)" is code for:

    'please don't start jumping up and down and acting shocked that I didn't go to a different bank, because I'm not looking for your opinion on that...'

    :smiley:

    I can't see anyone jumping up and down, or acting shocked. I also didn't realise that opinions are now controlled.

    If only you had stated how much you deposited in nationwide 1 year fixed rate bond , might have given some of us a bigger :D

    You don't see anyone acting shocked, but it was you who started your response to the OP by shouting WOW in capital letters and ended it with two crying emojis in a row. 

    To me, it came off as acting shocked :smiley:

    We all have opinions, but if someone has signalled that they don't want the opinion because they know better rates are available elsewhere, and are simply seeking a practical answer to their question, maybe it's best to focus on that...

    Obviously the lock down has got to some. :D
    If you have nothing constructive to say just keep out of the thread please.
    I said it was a rubbish rate and done for a reason other than the interest return, I only needed to deposit the minimum so virtually nothing lost at 1%.

    ... so virtually nothing lost at 1%.
    However big or small any loss, it would be your loss, anyway, not anyone else's. Just for the record: Nationwide do not presently offer a 1% 1-year fixed rate bond. May be it is a different account you opened.

    Maybe the op has deposited enough to trigger the 0.5% rate and meant he is presently losing about 1%?

    Nationwide don't presently offer any 1-year fixed rate bond paying more than 0.4%, irrespective of the amount deposited. There are also no special 1-year fixed rates offers existing customers can take out now.
