print it off from the links and send to them with a cheque. Worked for me/others. - maybe too late now but worth a go

Thanks, just put two applications in the post box. Fingers crossed.

I would have done that if i had a printer.  Just letting others know it looks like you cant request one over the phone.  Cheers x

I've just requested an application from from Monmouthsire and they wouldn't send one.  I mentioned that I'm a current customer.  He wouldnt budge.  

I’ve just printed off Savings Application Form as linked above 
And get into tomorrow’s post. 
I’m not going to send a cheque will just see if they accept and open the Branch Exclusive and then fund online 

I wonder if they are cracking down on applications by post for this account …… fingers crossed …. Will update if all goes ok

I don’t have a printer. I went to the library and printed it there (20p per page).  Luckily my local library is walking distance from home.

Well if they are, it would not shock me as the T&C's state branch only. No postal applications. So say thank you if it works.

If sending a Monmouthshire application form by post, should I write £0 in the section about how much I would like to invest?

I think I put 500, and sent no cheque and they opening the account fine. I never worry too much about these questions, I might invest more, or I might not!

Minimum is £1, so I would expect a decline if putting £0. Add by Faster Payment if you feel the need.

I've sent cheque because it is more convenient for me, but if I didn't I would put £500.  I don't think it matters, but if you write £0 or more than £6k they might question if this account is suitable for you.

"....Interest Rate AER / Gross - Variable:  7.00%

MBS enclosed a letter stating the minimum balance required for this account and returned my cheque which was less than £50.
