I've already settled with the idea that I'm not among the chosen ones... received my invitation to join the club.  I'm not sure what the criteria is but very happy to be back on the bribe boat.  
UI is so much better, no purple background and everything is clearly displayed.  Took me a while to get the process rolling. First entry was connected and the consequent ones failed.  It appeared that after each connection I had to close all windows and start again. They didn't accept multiple accounts from the same bank, but luckily I have enough banks with recent transactions to qualify me for 10 connections.  The bribe is not as generous as the old one was, but still good - £15 p/m for very little time and effort.  

I got the email yesterday and found that subsequent connections after the first failed too - but then found closing the previous Plaid tabs on my phone after each new connection worked a treat. I managed to connect all 3 Halifax accounts in one go (and multiple minimal transaction dummy accounts from other providers), so maybe you were unlucky, or you only get one main connection every 90 days with a provider?

I was trying to be careful and connect 1 account at a time. When I tried to connect my second Halifax account the system didn't let me proceed saying that "you are already connected to this bank".

I'm usually careful but went for the slap-dash approach this time to try to make up the numbers, as even though I have plenty of accounts knocking around it wasn't showing TSB, RBS, Co-op, Bank of Scotland, First Direct, Virgin etc as options on the list, and I've CASS'd away Monzo and Starling. If it wouldn't let you reconnect then it looks to me like you get one shot for each provider every 3 months so best to cram in everything you can first go.

Still waiting for the invite email as well. Anyone able to share a list of banks they accept now?

I added multiple accounts from Lloyds, Halifax, Barclays, Nationwide and Santander without any issue.

You might need to delete your open banking link for the single account, and then re-link with Halifax but selecting all the accounts you want to share.

Ignore me - there are a few listed but having checked again there's also a search box to find LOTS of others. I clearly need another coffee

It's too long to list, lots and lots. More than its previous incarnation. Compared to last time, Chase was the new one I was able to link.

Ok, that's great that there is more choice now so won't have any problems if I ever get the privilege granted by yougov to share my data.

That could probably work, but I just carried on adding other bank accounts and got 10 connected.  Interestingly, Virgin connected too (it didn't in previous "bribe" version). The only difference between VM and others was that there wasn't an option to authorise in app but had to login and do it online.

When you see the list there will be a limited number of banks displayed, if you want more you just need to type the bank name is a search box and it appears.  I think all major banks are there.
