    Hanley BS

    Opened my account 27/10 around 8pm and made first payment by card using application reference. Received email about welcome pack on 28th at 11am. Phoned today to confirm the account was open and funded, which it was. Also was given my User ID over the phone. Checked my online account (setting a new User ID) and found payment was recorded as 27/10. 

    Very happy with this all. Just gonna wait on the letters in the post that I no longer need.
    So maybe its better to do card payments into Hanley rather than bank transfers?
    I opened the Hanley RS earlier this week as an existing customer, and funded by debit card from within Hanley's online banking - payment appeared instantly, dated that same day.

    IME with a previous Hanley RS, bank transfers are always dated the following working day.

    I can't get their website to load on pc or phone. Anyone else having problems?  Hopefully they aren't plugging loopholes!  
    I have requested £200 to go to new 6 month issue 4 from my Xmas RS,  am I right in thinking the account number stays the same so I can go ahead and set up standing order? (Can't check online due to above problem).

    I've asked for money to be re-invested (saved) in a new Principality RS a couple of times in the past when an RS has matured (the last time being June 2024) and, on both occasions, the new RS retained the account number of the one that had matured.

    Yes, the account number stays the same.

    Bridlington1 please check your details as CS have confirmed payments are treated as being received the same day.
    Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I can not seem to see anything in the general Ts&Cs to contradict this. The listings on P1 of this thread have been updated accordingly.

    As a slight aside I couldn't help but notice they'd made a typo in their General Ts&Cs (there's a triple space in section 7.4).
