Regarding Monmouthshire BS ``phantom accounts":

Each of my phantom accounts had been ones that had been opened but never funded for whatever reason.

I've done a spot of experimenting and there may be a way of getting rid of the phantom accounts from the app. I simply sent £1 to each of the phantom accounts on Saturday, the £1s bounced back and landed in my current account yesterday.

I've just checked the app and the accounts have now disappeared so I'm just left with the open accounts only showing in the app.

It could also be a complete coincidence but I thought I'd mention it anyhow just in case it works for anyone else.

I think it may be a coincidence and that it just happens to be a time they are doing some gardening so to speak. I had 2 RSs that accidentally opened when the app was being very stroppy recently . Naturally I tried to fund both but the funds bounced back twice, once from a transaction that was an internal transfer from my MBS easy saver and once a FP from my current account. That was weeks ago but only in past few days the ghost RS has disappeared

for me, the unfunded RS from a couple of years ago has been removed from the app, but tantalisingly, the unfunded 2nd App Exclusive account is still there... 

My wife had that. We did a speculative £50 in and it stuck so a week later we topped up with £950 and then another £1000 at turn of month.
