    Not me! Seen too many get themselves in knots with such shenanigans! 
    Yeh. I tried with their  recent 6% one and it just bounced back 2 days later

    Good luck!
    I have ended up with x2 issue 8.  One is working, made two deposits already, but the other one bounced deposits back (Ive made 2 attempts, no luck).  The 'illegitimate" account is still showing on my app, I might make another attempt, but I think this account is dead.

    I have the same issue - although I've only discovered the duplicate account when applying for this new App Exclusive account.

    Interestingly (to me at least) the extra one shows my previous MBS name (with a hypen), and the other (which I got given the details for and funded) has the new name (without the hypen). The new App Exclusive account also uses the new name.

    All the old accounts have the old name (with hyphen).

    Monmouthshire App Exclusive RS1

    I wonder if someone could confirm please that the sort code / account number for this new account is the same as for the previous RS? I finally managed to open it but then the app timed and I've not got any emails, but it's showing on my account page.
    I've got:

    40-05-30
    14576608

    And use the 10 digit MonBS acc no as the reference?

    Thanks!

    Correct. In common with lots of the smaller institutions it uses a common collection account and then identifies your account specifically with the reference.

    Still stuck at the 2FA screen with no options to pick...

    This is after a reinstall. Looks like a phone call required.
    As indeed am I still.

    Managed to open my Monmouthshire BS RS at first attempt, inside 10 minutes.

    Was I lucky? 🤔

    Funds sent. Will no doubt appear at some stage.

    Need to contact support to add nominated account for any withdrawal though as no longer have the previously associated one.

    So after managing to get the app to work and opening  the app only Exclusive RS 7%.
    If l put the account number  into my online portal and it shows, will l be able to ditch the app for access and operating  the account online only?

    It's what I'm going to do, though I'll keep the app going, just in case.
