    I think the “old” form has actually had a refresh. It wasn’t working last night but appears to be live again now.
    Does it still allow you to select the sort code etc.?

    You have to get passed the credit check stage to see that part.

    I've been wondering if the site refresh would result in a purge/review of older pages & forms. I wouldn't be too shocked if "the form" suddenly ceased to be.

    Open an account with the London Drummonds branch of RBS (using the form on page 9).

    Is there anything to indicate that it’s been refreshed beyond the fact that it was offline last night?

    It’s well known that the old systems go to sleep at night, and not indicative of anything other than that things work as expected.

    Yes it looks different. (I loaded it on a mobile, it seems to look the same on the desktop. Maybe they just added a mobile page, I can't recall if it was like that before on a mobile)

    Interesting the old form was turned off overnight, but the main website was not. One would assume they both use the same backend.

    Turns out that paying-in books are so niche that Child & Drummonds customers have to make do with punter-class RBS ones  >:) 
    I suggest you remove the photo or edit out the barcodes as both of your accounts can be decoded very easily.

    The old design Child & Co cheque book had branded paying in slips at the back. I've no idea when one might have cause to use them anymore though, Post Office and branch machines don't need em for cash. Cheques up to £1500 go in via the app. I guess if you wanted to pay in a cheque over £1500 and you can't get to a branch?

    Surely an edge case nowadays, only once in my life have I had a cheque that big to pay in!
