I'll wait for the 20th but if you are desperate, you can send your Furness application by post, apparently 

Hopefully the information Furness gave the poster re: accepting online applications from the 20th is accurate, as the download application form button sends you in a loop rather than giving you a form.

I had also been on the phone to them, and they told me that I can post the application form or that I can wait until the 20th, when it will go online provided it hasn't sold out by then. I am going to take the risk and wait.

Sounds like they've got a limit on the total number of accounts. If there hasn't been a massive take-up before the 20th, then I imagine there will be a bit of a rush once online applications open. How soon it takes for them to pull the account remains to be seen, depends whether they have an in-built counter or whether it has to be removed manually from the website.

Assuming the website doesn't crash!

Was going to pop to Nationwide and ask for a certified copy of a statement (they print it in branch and stamp and sign them) but so far no need.

Is that service free? That's a useful resource if it's generally available.

They didn't charge a family member of mine who asked before Christmas (although they did ask the purpose it was needed for and it was not opening an account with another society, which might not go down so well.) 

If you have a good relationship with your local bank branches it can be very helpful. My local NatWest was happy to provide free certified copies of key documents, free of charge, without asking what it was for. And my local Nationwide printed some MansfieldBS documents for me free of charge in exchange for providing a home insurance quote.

Arggh. I'm going round the houses trying to open a new Club Lloyds monthly saver. My existing one matured today into a Standard Saver. I can't seem to find the option anywhere to open a new monthly saver account. Is it because it's matured today?

If it gets onto moneyfactscompare's table before the online launch, it'll be ranked 5th as things stand, so might attract a fair bit of attention. If it doesn't get onto moneyfactscompare straight away, hopefully there'll be less risk of a crash!

Says you get a passbook, so no online access? This would suggest no online applications on the 20th either. 

I have several online accounts which also have passbooks. At least two people have been told today by Furness that they will launch an identical online version provided they are not sold out by then.

Furness building society 

Well, l hope their anniversary RS  DOES  go online on the 20th, after applying for an easy access  account  with them at the beginning  of this week.
I've already  got all excited once   over the Scottish building society  RS that never went online

Look around - I seem to recall you have to select 'Fixed Rate Accounts' to see it.

I renewed one this week (converted it into an Easy Access) and opened a new Club RS immediately. Maybe needed a logout/login in between?
