    This news might relax one or two (like me) who have been contemplating a full FCCS limit investment.

    Update 28 November 2023 pm. App and online banking out of action!! Must have collapsed under the strain of perhaps a positive response after yesterday's good news.



    Hope the short-sellers lost their shirts.

    Hello, two questions as Monzo are closing my account for no reason, makes a good time to move out of Chip 4.84%

    1) Can anyone tell me how quick it is to open an account for the 5.22%, I had a nightmare with Coventry who insisted on me having to go into branch with ID, and posting paperwork that kept getting lost that I simply could have printed myself and brought into branch, thus not wasting 3 weeks.

    2) Would this particular account trigger a credit check as some savings accounts don't? This is my flat deposit money and could be buying anytime, so trying to avoid hard searches.
