Newcastle Monument
I applied online (not app) as new customer but the new account isn't showing when I log on.  Did those that can already see the new account apply via online or app, please?  I did receive an email saying application received.

Online for me.
Applied  as a new customer even though  l already have 2 NBS accounts. And when l logged on with my original details, the Monument was showing.
From applying  to showing was around  1 hour or so.

I'm in the same position. Applied online.

Go on, put our little community in the know!!! 

Method has been mentioned before - nothing to gain from it and could lead to getting told off but if you're that curious there is over 700 pages to go searching through to find the answer

And if curious as to what happens if you do open the account early, see the post below in the previous version of this threa:

Let's just say the last thing I want to do as similar no doubt to many on hear is to essentially say to Principality "hello, look at me!!!"

Precisely. Not only that you lose interest by applying early so there's nothing to gain. To my mind it's one thing to guess an application link so you know a few days in advance that a regular saver is going to be launched, it's a very different thing to go ahead and use it prematurely.

I'm just going to wait till the day it's launched officially, then if the rate's decent enough apply and fully find then before ``refreshing" if it's still available at the end of the month as I've done with Principality many times.

Who was it said there's not much new RS activity going on? Jinx! More funding to arrange now!

Going to have to dip in to my 5.5% RS's to fund higher interest ones next month.
My current 5.5's are RBS (max), Natwest (3k), Halifax, Progressive and recently opened Manchester.
Does it really matter which one i start with?

I would go Progressive, as it’s earning less than their current offering. Halifax would mean closing a fixed rate account and NatWest and RBS are indefinite terms so should be towards the bottom end of the list.

That was me!!
And here I am planning on opening the Newcastle Monument RS and Manchester RS this evening!
