Principality BS - log in and application issues.

That's helpful to know @cricidmuslibale - perhaps their systems were beginning to go wrong a bit earlier then and now they've just collapsed under the pressure, hence the maintenance.cricidmuslibale said:
I was able to log into Principality about an hour ago but it was much slower than normal to receive my OTP and some of the links in the website weren’t working either. I think they may be rather busier than normal due to the attractiveness of the 5% interest rate on the 2023 Christmas regular saver; none of their other current interest rates come close to 5%.ForumUser7 said:Anyone unable to log into Principality just now? I keep not being sent my OTP
I helped my mother apply for the 2023CRS yesterday and we got a few error messages. She now has an online profile stating it requires an account activation code, but no accounts show so we have sent them a secure message. I do hope, if it hasn't gone through due to their tech issues, and the product is subsequently withdrawn, that they let her have one seeing as she did apply.If you want me to definitely see your reply, please tag me @forumuser7 Thank you.

I managed to open the Christmas 2023 RS about an hour ago & funded it. Just tried to log in to check safe arrival, to see the Essential Website Maintenance message. Mid afternoon on a Monday seems an odd time to choose. Methinks they might be withdrawing the Regular Saver.
Incidentally, I had no trouble registering as a new customer. I had accounts in 2010 & 2011 (doesn't time fly when you're having fun) but didn't have any log in details saved. IIRC, they were Certificate & Passbook at the time which would explain lack of log in details.1 -
Also just noticed that the PDF summary for that RS is headed 'Christmas 2021 Regular Saver' oops0

They have a habit of doing this.I think the issue is that they do not take products off the website when they are withdrawn from sale, they just remove the links from the products section of the website, so you can still apply for any product they have ever offered as online opening before.badger09 said:Also just noticed that the PDF summary for that RS is headed 'Christmas 2021 Regular Saver' oops
E.g. the regular saver issue 27 can be opened with the following link:
https://online.principality.co.uk/Originations/launchpage.aspx?productType=RegularSaver&productCode=6070#!
Their regular saver issue 2 can be opened with the following link:
https://online.principality.co.uk/Originations/launchpage.aspx?productType=RegularSaver&productCode=6001#!
Their 2 year fixed rate bond issue 163 with annual interest can be opened with this link:
https://online.principality.co.uk/Originations/launchpage.aspx?productType=RegularSaver&productCode=5234#!
etc, etc. Just change the last 4 digits of the links above and you will get a different product. Thus it is very easy to end up with the wrong product information and end up opening the wrong account. I haven't a clue why they use this system, but if interest rates suddenly plummet, which I doubt will happen anytime soon, it may prove rather useful.

Hypothetically what would happen if we used an old link do you think? I might try hahaBridlington1 said:

The only issue is not having access to the terms - i.e. min deposit, max deposit, rate, penalty free withdrawals etc.Bridlington1 said:
