Newcastle/Monument

Just applied as a new customer and it took just a couple of minutes to verify me and my nominated account. This is the e mail I just received confirming my application reference number.

Can’t do a QR code…

So how about a direct link instead?

https://newcastle.co.uk/savings/monument-regular-saver

Scroll down to ‘ways to apply’ then this page has a slight difference with an online link as an option.

That web page has changed. It used to specify an appointment in branch or QR code available in branch.

During the application process, as a new customer, did you go through the entire security set up? i.e., password setup & memorable info set up?
Did you put them same as your existing account information?

You have to go through it but as I have numerous passwords and memorial information stored I didn't look these up but put in different information to whatever is in my 'home' Newcastle registration. I did keep the same as my account for all other sections, including nominated account though and it was automatically added in the background to my existing account without any other input.

It's a subtly different page to the branch version of this account.

Two different pages. The difference is whether the ending has the 'branch' suffix.

https://newcastle.co.uk/savings/monument-regular-saver
https://newcastle.co.uk/savings/monument-regular-saver-branch

The former is not linked anywhere to from elsewhere on the site or appears to be indexed in google etc. Presumably is the direct QR landing page. The later is linked to elsewhere on the site.

Just applied and have received email with application reference.

As existing Newcastle BS member I tried the login route but once in my a/c there was no option to open the Monument regular saver, so I applied using the "Start application" as if I were a new customer.

I just did this got to and filled out step 7 of 7 with the passwords when 

Sorry, our website is currently unavailable.

Update: However, I did get a welcome email

Thank you for applying for a MONUMENT REGULAR SAVER with Newcastle Building Society.

What's the attraction of the Newcastle RS? 

Is it the 24 month term? Over £600 interest if the max amount deposited each month?
Has anybody any experience of Newcastle BS?

Same happened to me but I do have a confirmation email with an application reference. Whether they’ll accept my application remains to be seen

Mine has now been opened and already added to my existing online account all within 45 minutes.

Same here.
Although I'm going to send my opening funds via my 6 month saver then transfer  over.
