Monmouthshire R/S 8
Finally managed to get access to husband’s app by using daughter’s mobile number. Noticed that he has two R/S’s Issue 8 although currently only one funded. Has anyone else who ended up with two issue 8’s opened funded both and not had their payments returned?

I've got two, but haven't funded the second one. It's still showing as open, so if others haven't had their funds returned, then perhaps I ought to fund my second one?

Thank you for the replies, I’ll definitely get the second one funded on Monday along with both are Branch Exclusive 7% which are now opened after sending both our application forms. Apparently according to the emails we both received we visited the Newport Branch to open them 😂

does the same apply for the App Exclusive Saver if you have more than one - or are the funds returned if you try to fund a second account ? I just checked CoP on that second account and it passed.

Tried to apply for another a couple of times: Couldn't see it as an option earlier.

But It is there now under 'exclusives products'  but when you clicked through it said "sorry you're not eligible as you already have one." 

And I'm already TTP on other accounts of theirs so don't want to push it.

Monmouthshire…..apologies for the question but this is a very busy thread and I can’t find the specific answer I’m looking for. Not currently a Monmouthshire customer so looking to open the 6% RS via the app…….fingers crossed on the exclusive one later. I’ve seen loads of posts about postal correspondence…..is that required as to be honest if I need to send postal applications I can’t be bothered?!

In addition, when eligible, can you hold an exclusive RS as well as the normal one?

TIA.

I opened via the app, but to get online access (as the app is pretty annoying) I had to wait for the activation code to arrive in the post. And when I wanted to add an external account to withdraw to, I had to provide proof by post - they provided a prepaid envelope so I just sent off an old bank statement, all quick and painless. So, a little postal correspondence needed, but not too much hassle.

When I opened an EA and R/S via the app, I tested a withdrawal from the EA to my bank account by way of the app. It just asked for bank details without proof and transferred no problem. Yet when I opened online access, the paperwork was slow to come through - about 10 days - with activation code and just a form to sign confirming that the bank account details I’d entered were correct. No mention of bank statements. Returned in the prepaid envelope.

Don't know if it's been mentioned but it appears Principality has closed the door on 2nd application for regular savers of the same issue via maturity  instruction got a secure message almost immediately saying not available to me

 

Mine appears to have been accepted. Submitted maturity instructions the weekend before last, and received confirmation by post today. Matures on Sunday so will see what happens!

Was this a second account

Tried it a couple of times: App exc RS is not in the list of product options if you already hold one.
Another time it was there but when you clicked through it said "sorry you're not eligible as you already have one." 
And I'm already TTP on other accounts of theirs so don't want to push it.

i'm not wanting to open a second account as I already have 2 of them - caused by my initial application crashing before showing the acceptance screen... I might throw £1 into that second account tomorrow and see what happens next week.

mine got an acceptance letter but it only mentioned the transfer out to external bank, so I'm not sure if they'll transfer it all out or leave the £200 in for the switch over

Did you check you secure messages

Please let us know how you get on, I've got an extra Exclusive account from when I originally applied, but I only funded the one they sent me the email on.

I ended up with two.  One is is working fine, the other one doesn't accept funds.  I've tried three times, all 3 deposits were returned next day.  The account is clearly not working, but it is still showing on my app.

MBS - I too have a phantom account showing on the app but not online. I tried adding it online but the system put out a message along the lines of it's still pending. I am happy with the three accounts I have, Branch Exclusive RS1, Regular Saver 8 and App Exclusive RS1.

When I paid into my second issue 8 CoP passed, but the funds were returned.
