    I'm in.

    No sign of my new £1k RS opened yesterday in the account list (think they warned it might be a day or so). Want to see that my £50 arrived OK before loading it up.

    Wonder if they would let me open a second.......
    Did you get an email confirming the pay in details etc?
    I didn't get the email (was expecting too!) but have been able to add the account to MonBS internet banking.

    I took a screenshot of the confirmation page, and also got an email with the details 1 minute later

    MBS app back up and running and without the usual 2fa faff, and got an account for me and the missus. Incredibly quick application process.

    I thought I'd opened an account on the app yesterday, but not convinced now that I actually did.
    Yes I did, and an in-app message with the same information (which I screenshotted).

    Did you get your account (reference) number? You could try setting up a payee, CoP should be up to date. 
    Absolutely nothing, but finally got back into the app today and the account is there.

    CoP has worked and hopefully have added it to my online banking now.

    This system is seriously wonky!

    Account opened yesterday now showing in the app. Have decided not to fund until Tuesday now as a) closer to the end of the month and b) I will have the full £1,000 then.

    Just for info if it helps the "We are currently processing your application" page took about 1-2 minutes for me. It asks to not close the app so you may want to switch off autolock on your phone during the application.

    My account is now visible. No biometrics on my device, but the 2FA no longer needs to be selected twice to reach the input screen. All seems to be working as intended. Will log out now and avoid clogging it up for everyone who still needs to apply :)
