Anyone sent in a postal application for the branch account please? If so, can you please keep us updated as to whether it is accepted? Thanks

What's the position regarding electronic payments in? Do they have to be from the nominated a/c?

The general t's & c's say "If money is to be paid into your account by Electronic Payment, you or the payer sending the payment to you, will need to provide the unique identifier". So, payments in don't have to be from your nominated a/c or even an a/c in your name.

However, on the application when you've selected initial payment by electronic transfer, it specifies payment from YOUR a/c.

Make hay; it's still available but likely not for long...

Thanks for this, account opened. I tried logging into my existing NBS account but the Monument account wasn't an option. A new application using the same details as the existing NBS account has worked and I can now see both accounts listed when I log in.

Hanley EBS......I applied as a new customer. Found it dead easy, filled the form online, account opened quickly, just got to wait for a used ID  in the post. One of the easiest accounts to open. Well pleased.

Not for me. Applied this morning, got email “application saved successfully” but the account is not opened. I’ve tried as an existing customer too, no luck with that either.

Hanley - I had really bad issues getting the verification code but eventually it came through and I've funded.

I got the welcome email with the sort code etc but it does not actually give the  Hanley account reference number for me to set up the standing order so I will ring them a bit later - I like to tick all boxes from day one

Please can I ask is there an app or is it just the online webpage?

We were looking forward to a little drive to Stone this morning so thats saved a job  

Hanley do have an app, hope that helps

Hanley, existing customer already with login ID
Applied, received the email confirming account open while the "processing" message showed. That "processing" message didn't clear, so logged out and back in. Account showed up.
They have their own sort code but it looks like it's a "wait for 24 hours" until COP works

Just been on the phone to the Hanley. 

Deposits can be from any bank account, not just the nominated one.

Your account reference is the application reference shown on the final screen saying ‘thank you’.

Credit to Hanley, they've changed the "Is this Product right for me?" section to correctly reflect that it's an online account.
