    I just rang them to ask about postal application. There is no way around branch opening but after that all else can be done online.

    I've had a letter confirming my Principality RS 3 rollover to RS 4 even though I already have an RS 4. I did my request online on Sunday. Will do my wife's this coming Sunday in the hope that may be the reason it worked although I have to say my suspicion is more it's random chance. 
    Can anyone tell me when the option for maturity comes up please? Mine (RS3) matures on 28/9 and nothing showing so far as to what options available. 
    Mine matures on 14th September. My maturity letter arrived yesterday, offering me Issue 4.

    I have successfully given my maturity instructions online ( though the site kept trying to log me out ) to open  Issue 4 and transfer the rest to my current account elsewhere

    Market Harborough BS have launched a Limited Edition Regular Saver (04.11.2026) – Branch Exclusive at 6% Fixed, £300/mth max. Branch opening only but can be managed online.
    • Customers may only have a maximum of two Limited Edition Regular Saver accounts open at a time, either solely or jointly, with a combined maximum deposit of £300 per month not exceeding the maximum balance of £4,500.00

    I've opened it on 8th August and received e-mail with all details on the 9th.  I've never received any snail mail from Darlington.  IIRC I could view the account almost immediately after opening.

    Re: Darlington RS 

    My application was 'accepted' and 'welcomed' online at around 7pm on a working day, and the welcome pack was in my email box the next morning, just before midday. Hope this helps.

    I opened the account (new customer) early August in the evening, 7ish, and received  a welcome email just after 10 same night.
    I did get some letters in the post off them, but were all advertisements  about their products.
