    As far as I can see, I'm the same. Mine's due to mature on 30th. Picked the same options as you last night and I've had confirmation on screen saying I'll have a new Issue 4 on 30th, so I think I've got 2 issue 4s in addition to another Issue 3 maturing in January. Nothing showing in Messages

    I've also got 2 Monmouth Exclusive RS1s due to the glitches when the accounts were first being set up.

    Monmouth.....Mine is in the post to them. Application form posted on 15/9. I guess I might be too late then.
    Me too ….. posted same date …. Think I’ve missed out on that one
    Not necessarily. In my experience with postal applications you'll typically get a day or so leeway to take into account postal delays etc so if sent before the account went NLA you should be fine.

    Building societies often accept the application even if it was sent a day or so after the account went NLA if everything was dated to before the account went NLA.
    Thank you Bridlington1 
    You were indeed correct 
    My Monmouthshire Branch Exclusive Regular Saver has been accepted  and opened by post when I thought I’d missed out after the account became NLA.

    Happy I just managed to grab that account 😃

    PRINCIPALITY BUILDING SOCIETY 
    6 MONTH ISSUE 3/4.

    Just gave my maturing instruction online and asked to open a 2nd Issue 4 from my original  issue 3, if allowed, and the rest of the funds to nominated account. Will see on the 29th what happens.

    If all goes OK  will have two issue 3's and two 4's.

    New YBS Regular saver. 
    Anyone else struggling to set up a standing order for this? . I'm basing the details I put in on what the app indicates for manual bank transfer in but even well over 24 hours on COP fails.

    YBS for me can take 2-3 business days before they'll even let me make a payment in anyway after opening an account (as an existing customer) due to checks

    It let me pay in instantly linking to Santander from the YBS app but when I then try to set up an s/o from 1/10 onwards COP fails.

    I've seen some random COP failures when setting up payments from various sources. Simply retrying later resolves this, so I think sometimes there is just some sort of timeout or error.

    On the contrary, I funded this account about 5 minutes after opening and CoP worked.  I don't know if this matters or not, but I used Cahoot for this transaction.

    Sorted it. Roll number needed to be the Reference. I was using my own identifier.
