Drat. My Dudley payment has bounced back. Will check with them tomorrow.

SRBS are offering one of their semi-regular windows to increase your regular saver balance.

Between 1 February and 31 March 2026, you can add up to £12,000 extra to your Regular Saver account, on top of your usual monthly contributions.

Same. First class (and with a real stamp!). Nothing yet. Cheque was enclosed but still hasn't been drawn.

I sent to Chesterfield branch hoping to avoid the head office application stack - looks like I overthought it 😕

Anyone having problems getting Principality text messages through to login? Tried 3x now

Posted my application with second class stamp last Friday (23rd) along with opening cheque for £500.

Cheque was paid out on Wed (28th) and passbook received by post today (29th), opening date shown as 27th.

From my experience of multiple postal applications for new RS accounts, I would always recommend sending a cheque with postal applications, particularly if time is short to get a first payment in before the end of the month. Those few times where I have waited until the account is opened (and details available) to send an electronic payment have, more often than not, timed out to get a first payment in before month end.

The min opening balance for Dudley is £50. Once they've confirmed that your opening deposit got to the right place and was just the wrong amount, (assuming that's the case) you'll still be able to get your full payment in tomorrow.
