    Can someone tell me how to action the reward of £5 per month. When I'm signed into my account I can find a page, which goes through what choice you can off, but no place to click to chose which one.
    Sorry, I don't use OLB, but on the app you click on the account, then on the 3 dots next to the account number and in the drop down menu you can 'Add your reward extras'
    Thank you. I'll  download the app and see if I can't get it to work.

    After log in, left hand side click on Current Account options, then 'add your reward extras'.

    Eventually found the Extras Tracker and it says up to 24th I hadn't paid in at least £1500 - but I paid it in on 10th. Phoned up and told I'll have to wait til 12 Oct and if £5 doesn't appear to contact them again. Heaven knows why they can't correct it now. Although there's a tick next to the £500 debit card transaction I see in the note that money paid into another "account"  doesn't qualify so I don't know if that's an issue as I paid into nsandi

    Have you kept balance at 0 or above each this month so far?

    To be on the safe side, pay in another £1500 or whatever is needed to make that amount.
    As you are probably aware, you can put lots of smaller amounts in and out several times over to reach your £1500 target.

    The customer service bod I spoke to said they could see i'd paid the 1500 in and couldn't understand why it hadn't registered but they couldn't do anything about it, so frustrating
