This seems very generous but I'm still not over the previous one. More or less a month later and I've had no letter to confirm it's all open. I notice this is app only though so should hopefully be more straightforward. Do we think they've launched this because of all the issues?Controlthenarrative said:Monmouthshire Building Society

I think it's having some issues, sometimes it's coming up with maintenance and sometimes it's working.exel1966 said:

MonBS: I managed to get through the application on the second attempt, only for the app to continue to the accounts screen, say I have no open accounts and then drop into maintenance mode. I think they've coded maintenance into the app as a fallback any time something goes wrong. Forcing a stop and restarting usually brings it back to life.3
