Re Monmouthshire Branch Exclusive 

I’m also interested in opening this account by post as I’m not local to any branches. 

I already hold the Regular Saver and App Exclusive. 

How have others opened the Branch Exclusive? Where are the applications forms found ? 

Or is it simply a case of writing and enclosing a cheque to open sent to any branch ?

Monmouthshire Branch Exclusive
It appears that Mon BS have removed the application form from their website as this account is listed as "Branch only" and all their other accounts are online application or branch only. Unless anyone else knows differently??

I've just requested an application from from Monmouthsire and they wouldn't send one.  I mentioned that I'm a current customer.  He wouldnt budge.

print it off from the links and send to them with a cheque. Worked for me/others. - maybe too late now but worth a go

I would have done that if i had a printer.  Just letting others know it looks like you cant request one over the phone.  Cheers x

I’ve just printed off Savings Application Form as linked above 
And get into tomorrow’s post. 
I’m not going to send a cheque will just see if they accept and open the Branch Exclusive and then fund online 

I wonder if they are cracking down on applications by post for this account …… fingers crossed …. Will update if all goes ok

I don’t have a printer. I went to the library and printed it there (20p per page).  Luckily my local library is walking distance from home.

Well if they are, it would not shock me as the T&C's state branch only. No postal applications. So say thank you if it works.
