Disappointing but not surprising. I presume this will follow the base rate until maturity now.

Ditto.

I've no idea what they were doing for the 4 full days.  They make Monmouthshire BS look efficient.

Co-op Regular Saver application

I made my application on Saturday 1st March (maturity date) and received an application accepted e-mail an hour later. I also just checked thanks to @savethepandas and the account is there in the online banking dashboard. I transferred £250 in and it is showing as available.

Were you expecting them to work over the weekend ?

My Co-op RS that I applied for on Saturday, also appeared today.
As the 12 month duration doesn't start until you fund it and the Co-op allow you 30 days to fund it, I will hold off funding it until towards the end of this month.

Not really, but I would expect them to do what most other banks do and have automated systems to manage the application and setting up process for new accounts.

The interest rate is shown as 6.00% but 6.39% when compounded. How does that work, as I'm expecting the interest at maturity?
