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.

I checked again on the app and it was still not there so I made a call to Newcastle just at 8am. The lady I spoke to could see it at her end and when I signed in to my online account I could see it then too.

What happened to the Scottish Building Society RS application going online this week?

Thanks @BestSeagull, I've just contacted them and they were able to give me the account number but it's still not appearing, so I guess that'll happen later.

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?

Start with NatWest and RBS, as they're really 5.37% (the 5.5% is the AER, not the gross) as the interest is paid monthly

Is the Coop Bank OK (in general) ? ... thinking specifically about the RS, but also the current account (as the current a/c seems mandatory for the RS) .

The NatWest is 5.5% as it isn't full and interest is compounding. Wouldn't RBS be a little above 5.5% provided the poster is drawing out the interest each month and paying it into an account paying more than 5.5%, or 5.5% if the interest goes into Manchester for example and earns 5.5% there?

Why wouldn't it be ?
All the account details are available, it's down to your personal choice surely.

I opened a Current Account and RS in February, never had any issues with their online banking website or payments so far

You don't need to 'use' the Current account to open the RS. Just put £1 in it and forget about it!
