    I am an existing Monmouthshire BS online customer who uses the website for a Regular Saver Issue 8.

    If I login to the app using the "Existing Customer" button will it stop me from using the website myaccounts.monbs.com online access?

    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.

    Worked for me on the old version of the app, account opened then read that 2FA had been removed so downloaded the update and since then nope. Never mind, I have a screenshot with the details and wasn’t planning to fund until tomorrow when COP should work.

    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?
    I can not understand why on earth they have put another app only account on offer when they know full well what the accessibility issues are with the app.
    As an incentive to beta test it?

    I can't summon up any enthusiasm to attempt to deal with MBS, I've got better things to do than play guinea pig for their app development. I'll leave it at least a few days to see if things settle down. Good luck to those who want to try.
