    Royal Mail provide a official artwork generator design tool, can use for this purpose.

    you can use this tool to create an envelope that fully complies with the Royal Mail's technical requirements
    I suspect that link is only for the use of companies who pay Royal Mail for services so they can produce compliant envelopes.

    Not for members of the public to use. .. in fact i suspect this might be one of the more legally/morally dubious suggestions in this thread..

    ...and completely unnecessary to take the risk (and hassle).

    Simply writing this (using old-tech ink is fine) on a normal envelope will work -

    Manchester BS and Newcastle BS Monument

    Just signed up for these two RS. Pretty much identical. Not the highest rate at 5.5%, but the max deposit of £500 and the 2 year duration swayed it for me.
    Still waiting on account details as I'm a new customer.
    The application forms were identical too pretty much! Are these two BS linked?

    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.
    I thought I'd wait a while before replying as it hadn't been long since I applied when I read your post but it's been nearly 12 hours now and mine has still not appeared.

    Just checked mine again this morning and it's still missing too.  Considering there's only one way of applying for it online, I wonder why this appears to have failed.
