Progressive Rainy Day Issue 4
Obviously COP won't work until tomorrow, so I've done a £1 test payment. Anyone know how long before that will show in online banking? 

from the General T&C's.....

Brill, thanks. I couldn't access details of the account t and cs as it wasn't visible when not logged in and when I was logged in it just said you can't apply as you already have one! 

I just realised I posted for the General T&C's published at the time of Issue 3 ... here are slightly different ones from the updated Issue 4. I'll put a note in my previous post for future readers.

Progressive opened. I opted to make the first payment by debit card and got a NatWest roundup in the process, as I figured COP wouldn’t work today. I won’t have the full amount available for a week or so so will top up by Faster Payment then.

For those wanting to go the authenticator route, they prompt you to download the salesforce one during application. Given how long their text took to arrive to verify that I’d entered the correct mobile number, I think I’m relieved that isn’t an option.

I see they are insisting the funds are sent from an account in your name. Has anyone tried sending from an account in a different name?

Hi, new here although I have stalked this excellent thread for a while! I have a few regular savers but I avoid ones where opening may cause me too much effort, as I am entering my dotage and my passport and driving licence have long expired, so I stick to ones where id is verified  electronically rather than via photo id.
However I broke this rule and applied for the new Progressive, obviously skipping the id upload. They quickly emailed me to say they would be in touch to let me know what alternative id they would accept. Equally quickly I received a request that I upload photo id such as a driving licence! Not for me then.

I have sent them a message asking if they intend to increase the rate in version 3 otherwise it's unfair to existing members.

Progressive - How long until funds show? I’ve opened the RS and sent a £1 test payment this morning. Waiting until it shows before sending the other £299 as COP not updated yet.

Downloaded the Business authenticator app (don’t use the personal one) and it seems to work well.

Give them a ring and explain, they do accept alternative ID (or did when I opened my a/c with them)

Mine showed immediately, sent by debit card.

Still not showing for me. Sent £1 initially at but also sent £299 at 14.40.

Yeah last year they agreed to accept my expired passport as ID. I did not to ahead in the end though as I did not want to e-mail it.
