Have had to order a cheque book, so hoping this RS stays about for a while so I can get to opening it

Scottish BS

The application form only says to send cheque if applying by post. Presumably, if applying by emailling the completed form & id, then the first payment would be by transfer.

Scottish BS
Correct. I just phoned for confirmation. I normally write at top of form "To be paid by bank transfer once account is open."

So is there a way to apply by email without printing off form to sign then scanning?

Scottish BS
No, because the form requires a 'wet' signature.

I inserted the picture of my signature in signature box.  It looks the same as if it was printed, signed and scanned. I don't think they will be able to tell the difference.   E-mailed the pdf  together with picture of my passport this morning.

Scottish Building Society

Just called to ask them to send me an application form for the regular saver and return envelope. When I ended the call my phone advised I'd just been speaking with the Century Building Society. According to Wiki the Century BS was, prior to its merger with the Scottish Building Society on 1 February 2013, 'the smallest building society in Scotland and the United Kingdom'. Good to see the technology is up to date.
