I applied for the Monmouthshire BS Regular Saver Issue 8 paying 6%, up to £500 per month and unlimited withdrawals on their website (not app) on Friday. I have received no e-mail or any other comms from them at all yet - is anyone else waiting?

Does anyone know how long it takes to open RSs with Suffolk BS, and West Brom BS, as an existing customer? Same day, with Faster Payment possible on the day for 1st deposit, or is there paperwork sent out etc.?

The Suffolk online ones are immediately available for a debit card or FP deposit.  I think there's a prompt to make the first deposit during the application process.

Thanks - I have 2 RSs from Suffolk, but couldn't remember how things went opening the second!

I've just noticed that West Brom is branch only - doh!

Monmouth......I applied online on 25/7 and haven't received an email from them so far. No big deal, I'm guessing they are all rather busy at the moment. They'll contact me when they are ready. I wasn't expecting an email, they didn't say they would email me. I was expecting a letter in the post, eventually.

Monmouth RS.  Having had issues with the app I applied for the RS online Friday pm.  Have not had an email, like others.  Too early for snail mail to arrive.

Nottingham BS have launched an online version of their regular saver at 4.75% (var). Seems to be same Ts&Cs as the branch/post one but with a couple of slight differences:
1. Online account can be opened by anyone over the age of 18, rather than 16 for the branch version.
2. Online version can not be opened in joint names unlike the branch version which can

Regarding Dudley BS, I applied for a Dudley BS EA account the night before the One Year Loyalty RS was launched and the EA account was not opened until the day of the Loyalty RS being launched. I applied for a Loyalty RS.

I have just checked my online banking and I now have a One Year Loyalty RS showing as opened on 25th July with a balance of £500 despite having never funded the EA account so I shall just leave the EA account to get closed due to lack of funding and retain the RS.

Might well take £249 back out of my EA in that case, I've the RS fully funded too.
