    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?

    And as we're dealing with MONBS the app is currently down, undergoing maintenance !!!
    Nah, app's fine. Opened the account in five minutes.

    AND, they've removed the need for 2FA after biometric login.

    All good.
    You got lucky, it's down with a maintenance message and 2FA is still there if using PIN.

    Our system is currently under maintenance, please accept our apologies for any inconvenience.

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

    Perhaps we've overloaded them  :p

    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.
