Darlington RS - I got stuck at online registration - they system said that the details I entered don't match their records!  I'll phone them tomorrow morning. 

For @Kim - pay in details

My wife got this but AFTER  a successful application so has an account number to fund

In fact I think I had this when I originally opened a Darlington account a few months back for debit card transactions . It may be like Barclays bank accounts and ID in that hardly anybody gets past without some sort of manual intervention

Co-operative Bank Interest Rate Reductions 22/10/25:

Co-operative Bank Regular Saver ~~~ NO CHANGE ~~~ Remains at 7%

How long is it taking to open one of these? Applied via on line while logged in and still waiting to hear back. How hard can it be , it's just a reg saver.

Couple of days. Existing customer applied via the app on a Wednesday, account appeared on the Friday

Re: Co-operative Bank Regular Saver

Does this account allow you to fund the account without having to wait for its bank card to arrive (if it comes with a  bank card?)

There is no bank card for the regular saver.

Yes, I agree. part of the deal is to have a current account with them, so I need to open one first hence my OP, please?

You don't need to have the current account's debit card, no.

Requested closure via online form of the regular saver (the form that was mentioned many pages ago), provided account details in the form for the regular saver. Followed up a day later via online chat just in case to make sure the reg saver is getting closed. 

Received an email "Sorry to see you go", checked my app and instead of the regular saver they closed my current account. Reg saver still not closed, still waiting for the interest to be transferred to the current account (that is now closed). 

Just raised a complaint. Totally unacceptable. 

Screenshots not allowed in the app, transcript only available by post on paper if chat has happened via app. Requested a postal copy now. 

Exactlly the same happened to me. They put it down to the "huge" numbers that opened that RS (c.37000 apparently) and then wanted it closed

I can't see anything in the T&Cs of the new Darlington that indicates that the maximum balance can't be £3250?

Apart from the below?
Managing the Account
• Maximum deposit is £250 per calendar month (any monthly payments deposited over this amount, then the full deposit amount will be returned to you).
• Maximum account balance is £3,000 (we will return any payments made over this amount to you)

Where do you see this? Neither the website nor Summary Box pdf file mention maximum account balance.

Is this the correct  account  l wanted?
