Regarding the NLA Furness BS Christmas RS Issue 2 that was available earlier this year. Has anybody else had difficulties closing the account online after making one withdrawal?
I made one withdrawal the other month, now I'm trying to close the account to free up funds for August's regular savers. Whenever I do so I get this message:
If I try to make a withdrawal I get this message:
My understanding of the terms were that you were permitted to make one withdrawal and retain the account and that you could then make a further withdrawal or closure, however the second withdrawal would result in the account being converted to an access account, which you could close from there.

Dudley have two dedicated accounts for incoming electronic payments (details on their website FAQ).
One is for online accounts and one for passbook accounts. You should use the passbook account one (ending in 1008) and use your actual account number (that appears online) as the payment reference.
Still got credited, but I'll change the payee details.0 -

Read that some got accidentally, or intentionally, 2 reg saver issue 8 opened. Technically against the T&C but the question is, has anyone funded both accounts already? Any issues, what is the risk of one or both being closed?
I find myself in the situation to have opened, unintentionally, 2 accounts and they show in the app. I have both, Natwest and RBS reg savers maxed out at 5k and was thinking to transition £500 over each month. Starting to use the Virgin funds first after maturity and once I run out of cash I slowly shift from the 5.5% RBS/Natwest to a 6% account. Funding both is £1000 each month on top of various other reg savers (Skipton, Nantionwide, Zoopa and various Principality accounts). I have maxed out my PSA already with received and expected interest so need to move into reg savers with maturity dates of next tax year and start to fill up my ISA (CMC now at 4.59% after promotion expiry).
I plan to fund both Monmouthshire on Thursday and Friday, which would swallow 2k already but not sure on the 2 account thing.
I have funded one, but I am thinking of holding off funding the other one towards the end of next month, just before the 30 day funding window expires. They will then mature a month apart, which suits me better.1 -

Monmouthshire building society.
I rang up earlier hoping to speed up my account (RS issue 8) appearing online but was told I had to wait for a letter to arrive to confirm the application and signature form.
The nice lady l spoke to did try to see if she could activate the account, but no joy. So, postal service it is:(
On another note. I tried to open another issue 8 yesterday evening, online again, no app and it said l was successful but at 10ish today had a email saying due to a error online only one RS Issue 8 allowed.0 -

Replaced by Market Harborough Fixed Term Regular Saver (30.09.2026) at the same rate with a new maturity date of 30/9/26.I opened the 30/6/26 issue online, I think good owd Bridlington found a link and posted it on here
https://mhbsonline.co.uk/bankfastApply/apply/index?code=1yr04
If I do that, that account isn't there as an option to open.
So, do I say 'No' and go through the whole application process as a new customer? If so do they merge it with my online facility? Or give me a separate profile?
What have others done?1 -

having just logged in, I find that I now have a second RS - Regular Saver (Issue 2)... I can see no mention of it in their withdrawn list of products (pdf only mentions issue 3 - so i've no idea what the rate would be)... i'll leave it unfunded for now, as it will no doubt disappear at some point.
update - I wonder if it's the account I opened 2 years ago, realised it used a passbook, never funded and requested it be closed? I used a different email address back then, but perhaps if it was never closed, stayed on the books and has now been consolidated back into the new login ?? the account starts 0370, whereas the two opened at the weekend start 0372 - so that might imply that it's a much older account.0
