    The app is still unusable for me - it’s been updated to the latest version and reinstalled numerous times. I had to phone Monmouth to open the new app only saver.

    Are anybody else having problems with the Monbs app please.
    Been just stuck on the intro screen since 8ish last night.

    I am in the exact same position. It took some persuading but I did manage to get an app only RS opened with a  phone call.

    Despite numerous un- and re-installs, trying to persuade it I was registering a new number etc., the app still refuses to play nice.

    Practical upshot is that I have an open app-only account which I can't check because of a completely non-functioning app.

    Last person I spoke to told me that the tech team were 'aware' of the issues and were working on a fix. In the meantime Ihave been advised to 'sit tight and wait'

    You can add it onto online banking
    How can you add the AppOnly RS onto online banking?

    Log into online banking, click ``Add Account" and type in the account number. It should then show in online banking a couple of days later.
  • Just type in the account number where it says “Add an account”.

    Suffolk BS to launch new versions of their 1 Year Fixed Rate Regular Saver and Online Fixed Rate Regular Savers on Monday 8th September.

    It doesn't appear there's any difference in the Ts&Cs compared to the current issues with the exception that the new versions mature on 30/11/26 and both accounts are set to pay 5%. 

    I shall update P1 of this thread and the archived thread once the accounts have been launched.
    When you say the same T&Cs, does that mean the pay-in limits will be £250 PM for the online, and £500 PM for the branch/passbook ones? 

    (Thanks so much for your hard work btw!!! Seemed rude to quote you without thanking 🙏)

    That's what moneyfacts appears to be saying. Full terms shall no doubt appear on Suffolk BS's website at some point on Monday morning.

    It is App only to apply for, but after it is open you can view and transact online.

    HSBC RS Maturity

    Anyone had a Regular Saver mature into an existing Flex Saver recently?

    If so, can you please confirm the timeframe from the maturity date for funds to be accessible in practice?

    Thank you

    IIRC for the regular saver I had in 2022-3 I opened mine on 6th of the month and the funds were available for me to transfer out on 6th of the month it matured.

    Good question. Mine matures on the 10 September, so I will find out then. Did have a letter from HSBC about the new account too. Paltry rate.

    I know it is not the same group, but my Lloyds one converted into an Everyday Saver today, date of maturity. Funds extracted and ES closed, all within minutes.
