Mansfield

Posted my application with second class stamp last Friday (23rd) along with opening cheque for £500.

Cheque was paid out on Wed (28th) and passbook received by post today (29th), opening date shown as 27th.

From my experience of multiple postal applications for new RS accounts, I would always recommend sending a cheque with postal applications, particularly if time is short to get a first payment in before the end of the month. Those few times where I have waited until the account is opened (and details available) to send an electronic payment have, more often than not, timed out to get a first payment in before month end.

The min opening balance for Dudley is £50. Once they've confirmed that your opening deposit got to the right place and was just the wrong amount, (assuming that's the case) you'll still be able to get your full payment in tomorrow.
