FurnessBS 160 Year Anniversary RS

There should be a new RS released on 20/1/26, 6.75%A, £160 monthly, with 10 month duration. Named '160 Year Anniversary RS'. Information seemed to be definite, but may be subject to change.

thanks for this - opened their Everyday Saver (1.85%) online as soon as you posted - for simplicity, I ended up applying via the app and passport/selfie went through first time... account details email arrived shortly after, logged in today and deposited £1 to the account (CoP worked fine).

Anyone else having issues getting onto their portal please? Since I’ve been trying yesterday, it just says maintenance and doesn’t specify an end time.

I just managed to login without any problems

Just thought I'd mention this for those who have been existing Suffolk BS members in the past but then allowed your last account with them to be closed for whatever reason before applying for a new online RS.

Applying for a new account does not work and a message asks you to contact them. If you try logging on with your old details it says access is denied for security reasons.

I phoned them today but because it's a Saturday it put me through to one of their branches who don't deal with online savings. I mentioned that I'd previously had an account with them and they were able to locate me on their systems. The issue was caused by the fact that even though I had no open accounts, my profile was still active.

After a bit of playing around I asked if it was possible to disable my old profile, which they were able to do. This allowed me to apply again as a new customer and open a new account immediately.

Dreadful login system 

Withdrew my matured funds and ran away from this organisation.

As was reported on here previously it's login is beyond anything I've encountered before.

Good luck getting sorted 👍

Is it likely that you will have to be an existing customer for this?

Really? You have led a lucky and/or sheltered life. They are one of the better institutions in that they insist on authenticator 2FA rather than the inherently less-safe text messaging.

I had this problem on my phone recently. Used the misses and it was fine. Try an alternative source or clear your cookies, history etc….

This is one reason I always leave an account open - to maintain my online presence as well as being eligible for loyalty products in the future

Who knows.  I also decided to open an everyday saver, yesterday, so passed ID, and applying online for the expected regular saver will be much quicker and easier, if and when it is launched.  I've got online access, although not seeing my £1 deposit yet, presumably that will appear on Monday.
