    Looks like the Dudley online is definitely gone. Lesson learned!

    Called Dudley branch; sounds like they impose a quota on the number of applications. Dudley person not aware of any website issues. Confirmed can have both post/branch version and online version,
    I called Dudley a minute ago to request the application form by post (I don't have a working printer).  I told them that I already have the online version, they said I only allowed one version, can't have both versions.  I guess the rule depends on who you are talking to.
    Call Dudley branch and ask for application pack.  Make sure you return to Dudley branch. Scanned/good imaged copies of completed applications can be emailed back. Dudley branch may have their own email address.

    Am I right in thinking that you can send £10 to Suffolk and leave it there (not £10 per month) and that you can still open future issues as you wish? 28.2.27 would work well for me and 5% fixed is the kind of rate that might look good in a few months time, while not being particularly appealing right now.

    Suffolk BS are to launch new issues of their Online and branch/post fixed rate regular savers shortly.

    The new accounts shall pay 5% fixed (same as the current issues) but with new maturity dates of 28/2/27.
    Is there definitely going to be an online one?

    Yes. Just called for branch/postal version application pack and asked about online. Told being refreshed right now and should be available later today.  Ok to have both.
    My understanding is that there is a minimum funding requirement of £10 a month. I think there is some past discussion on here about what happens if this requirement is not satisfied.

    I spoke to them this morning and they are currently working through a backlog of online applications.

    Apparently, having an application referred disables your internet banking access as well!

    yes you can.
    Download the application form by clicking this link. Complete it by typing into the boxes, then print and sign it (handwritten forms are also accepted). You can then email it to us or pop into branch.
