    Re Monmouthshire, I got 2 RS accounts as many on here and my wife one. I made 500 payment in last night to my two and my wife's. Interestingly enough only one of my two is currently showing in the app

    Interesting - to be clear, you had two RS showing in the app and now one of them has been removed?

    I see this is open in branch only unlike previous offers.
    Only the first was officially available online if I recall correctly. I think there was a workaround briefly in December 2024 for the second, but nothing since. 
    I opened the 30/6/26 issue online, I think good owd Bridlington found a link and posted it on here
    The new Mkt Harborough BS RS follows suit:
    https://mhbsonline.co.uk/bankfastApply/apply/index?code=1yr04
    The link seems to say 'product currently unavailable'. Any ideas anyone please?

    It was showing when Bridlington posted it but as you say not now
    I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
    The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
    There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
    I listen all night for your step on the stair.

    Mon RS 8 @6%. Applied online on Friday. Got confirmation email same day. Nothing in post yet. Got put off installing the app so instead I then sent an online secure message last night requesting account number. I have just checked my online messages and commendably they replied with the necessary account number. Then deposited £500 for July to new account and cop worked.

    If I use that link, it asks if I am already registered/y/login and click 'apply'.

    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?

    Exactly the same issue occurred last time when they issued a 2nd FRRS and the remedy was to say no . They merge it and you can use your existing credentials.
    I think that happened last time, but this time (so far) they've issued me an alternate profile.
    I used the same email etc., even the same security questions and answers... If it stays, it could work to my advantage... :)

    Update: New profile merged to existing.

    More fun with Monmouthshire.

    I've not been able to log in online now for a week. I rang them and they said I would just have to go through the process to reset my log in details and an activation code would arrive by email.
    This I did - using the exact same ID, password and memorable word that I have always used since I first registered with Monmouthshire and the email arrived straight away so I could log in  
    Online neither of the new Regular saver 8s are listed and then I remembered that you had to manually add account numbers which I did.

    Also while on the phone I asked if the issue was having the app and the chap assured me that the 2 systems are different and you can log in via the app or online. 

    The app this morning is either not sending me the code or if it does arrive then I cant enter it.
    Instead I had it sent by email. I had a returned payment from Monmouthshire overnight but it seems to be the payment I made on Saturday that has been returned. - the one I made yesterday is still there.
    The earlier account was done on Friday online and the latter one via the app.

    I was hoping to have it all sorted by now in readiness for the 1st of the month but probably that was too much to hope.

    Just applied for my first ever First Direct RS. 
    Says it may take 3 working days to open and first deposit will be taken then.
    I set monthly deposit at £300. If it happens there is no cash in the FD current account at the time deposit is to be taken, what happens?
