One withdrawal allowed. 

Full account name Christmas Regular Saver Issue 2

Furness Christmas 5.25%
Available for opening now.

Regarding Furness Christmas RS, is it possible to open this account without smartfone/tablet?

Can it be done on desktop. I'm not currently a Furness customer.

Yes, you can open and operate it online.

But you will need a device with a camera to set it up. So yes, in your case, if your desktop has a camera.

Furness Xmas RS2 @5.25% - you can open it online without a smartphone. Going online for 2FA - you have the choice of getting the code sent to your mobile or email so no need for a phone. Application for a Furness customer reasonably quick. Took a minute or two for account number to come up online and to email address, so able to fund it almost immediately. One withdrawal makes it doable. Remember to fund it every month with at least £1. Looks like you can make 13 payments of £500.

Furness Xmas RS2 - COP failed - I continued anyway - £500 has left my account but message came up transaction failed. Has any one else had a problem funding above account? I have overridden COP on other occasions and the transaction still went through.

According to Furness CS an app is required to apply online,  as a new customer

I emailed them and this was the response

Good afternoon

Many thanks for your enquiry for the Christmas saver enquiry. Have you already got a Furness account active?

We can open the account for you no problem. We would however need a completed application form filled out and sent back.  You are able to fill out the online application or if you please forward your home address Ill  I can send the form through the post. Unfortunately you cannot open an account online, you would need to use the Furness app.

Please find below the identification we require to open the account.  We require two original documents off list A or one off list B and one off list B please see below

We are not sure how long this product will be available for so it could have been taken off before your application comes back. I just wanted to make you aware of this

Furness Xmas Saver

I am an existing customer and was already set-up online a while back. So was able to login and open a new account within 2 minutes with no ID check required. Very easy and was able to send £1. My Xmas saver from last year hasn't yet matured but this didn't prevent opening a new Xmas saver.

Thats what i was getting. I only tried on laptop, and tried 2 different browsers too.

Only way i can apply is paper application and send original ID docs.

Not sure if i'll bother with it.

Exactly the same for me so I called them and they have said they will investigate - they are sending out the paper documents for me and have said I can send photocopies of passport/driving licence etc. as opposed to original docs, but they will need to be certified.

so is the implication of that that if as a new customer I was to install the app and apply, and assuming the application went through, there would be no need to send customer ID docs ?

If you can install app, you can upload ID and take selfie i believe.
