I opened one Yesterday but couldn't deposit until Today due to it "setting up". Money went in OK by debit card Today

I finished opening it at c.01.20 this morning. I got the account number & sort code by email from YBS, timed at 01.24.

I can also confirm the email to me says you have 42 days to fund the account.

Not received any communication regarding if we can still deposit money. According to the product details, we can't once its a closed issue.

On the phone to them now.

YBS just confirmed 26th is the last date to pay into the Bond. 

You can also make as many payments as you like.

My confirmation email says 

"We just need to carry out some further checks before your account can be activated. We will contact you to confirm when these checks have been completed"

Not sure why they need to carry out checks, ive had a mortgage with them for 10 years!

They best be quick about it!

42 days seems very generous, might be worth confirming .

when they pulled the account they said could be opened until mid night with a 7 day funding window…. The original t&c’s stated once closed no funding was possible, so who knows.

You've misread the e-mail. It says that they will close the account if you do not fund it within 42 days. That doesn't mean that you have 42 days to add funds if they withdraw the account in the meantime, which they have. The e-mail also states 'Any payments received after the account has been withdrawn from sale will be returned to you.' If you want to fund the account they've given you 7 days to do so, not 42 days.

I reminded husband about this account yesterday but he didn’t open it as he was going to town with agency branch today to close 2 other accounts (he’s old school😊). He was told account had been pulled. Cue ‘Oh dear, I’ve driven 30 miles & was going to add money from 2 closed accounts & pay in from another account maturing in a few days. Sigh’ accompanied by a rueful smile. Agency manager came out, took pity on him, said if he filled in the application forms & dated them yesterday😳 she’d treat it as a postal application. Then she completed the forms for him, apart from signature, opened the account, closed the other 2 and did transfers for him. 

Jammy s*d

He was told to pay in remaining funds by 26th.
