How long does Furness funding take to appear? I eventually managed to open the a/c..COP check failed (as expected) so waiting for a £5 payment to appear before I send the other £495. 

Not yet appeared on my app.  I'll check it again tomorrow morning.  I've made £1 deposit to another Furness account two months ago, can't remember the timescale, but would have made a note in my spreadsheet if the delay was longer than next working day.

Mansfield BS Bonus Regular Savings (8th issue)

Evening folks.

Has anyone previously had one of these and then closed it after the bonus ran out and then successfully opened another one.

The terms say the following:

Limited to one Bonus Regular Savings (8th issue) account per customer.

Does this mean only one ever or only one at a time?

This normally means "one at a time" I've sent my passbook 1st class yesterday, was hoping that they might be able to close it today, but the account is still there. I hope they will close the old one tomorrow so I can open the new one.  It was my first ever RS with Mansfield, so it was good to learn that the exit is not as quick and easy as I expected.

Furness are presently updating their App tonight and it will be offline between 9-11pm.

I am assuming that after their weekend update, issues / bugs have arisen which they're trying to fix, but who knows until it comes back online - It might be a whole new look

I phoned and you can close and then open a new one straight away.

Hi Jaypers, I send £500 from Barclays to my new Furness BS at 4pm yesterday and it is showing this morning xx

Thanks to everyone who suggested opening another account to get past the never ending circle!

Wind forward a month and it the base rate is cut and this (variable) product stays the same rate then it might receive a very different reaction on here.

I've opened it in any case

Maybe. Maybe not. It is variable too, of course.
Not much going for base rate cuts at the moment
