My Monmouth BS Issue 8 is open and shows in the app. 

I had started the application in the app around 11pm last night but it didn’t complete and I just left it. This morning it had completed, without further intervention by myself. 

First £500 on their way now.

It seemed simple enough, very significantly faster than previous applications (ignoring that I was overly keen and tried to open the account earlier than it became officially available)

Mine's open too. Quid on its way.

I'm finding that the app is logging me out every time I move to another screen (filling in a new payee at my bank). which is fair enough, but logging back in demands a new OTP be generated each time despite having set up biometrics. This is a serious PITA.

Monmouthshire BS  RS 8. I applied just now on the app and it went through after trundling away for several minutes. 
I really hate the 2FA on the app!

eta I signed back in to the app a few minutes later and the account was there.

You can add the account to your list of accounts in online banking by clicking "add account" and entering the account number (from the app)

You will get an email from Mon BS with attached letter confirming your account open and giving the new account number and details of how to make electronic payments.

CoP doesn't recognise the new account yet.

I found that too and gave up! Especially when all the documents have to be actually downloaded and then the app directs back to login.

Looks like the online application hasn't changed from the old system involving forms being sent in the post.

Applying via the App sounds like the better route to get the account up and running quickly.

Monmouthshire RS 8. You don't actually have to download them, the system on the app allows you to proceed without doing so.

Must have been another glitch as I couldn't progress the application. Now done it online.

I called them earlier to sort out another issue, and they confirmed the online route is unchanged - i.e. sending out a signature form in the post which has to be returned to get the account fully open.

It might be quicker to wait for the Android app to be updated, which I guess they'll do sometime today...
