    Newcastle BS -  two profiles-  I sent secure message asking for profiles to be merged, reply told me to phone and they be happy to help.  :/ 
    Turns out I now have a second login id. Maybe I used different security questions or nominated accounts as there is a message to validate 🙄

    😈 does this open the door to a second account…..
    I registered using exactly same details/nominated account as original NBS profile, I will not be phoning to have profiles merged.

    Ditto...
    I have sent a secure message asking the profiles to be merged but I won't bother if they say I need to phone them.

    Update...
    Secure message reply to my secure message, informing me that the profiles will be merged within 5-7 working days.
    Also, email confirming my deposit receipt.

    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.
    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.

    It seems you have two profiles?


    No I don't have two profiles. Matter resolved now - for some unexplained reason, my application was held up and  appeared to need manual intervention at the Newcastle end. May be the reason was that their system crashed at the very end of my application. I didn't call them but the Monument RS is now showing and my first deposit is showing.

    I contacted them via secure messaging quoting the reference in the email I received after applying. (They did however supply the new account number.)


    l did end up with a new profile, don't know why some new accounts are appearing having used same log in details and others aren't and new profiles given.  They said they'd merge them for me, and to expect that to take up to 5 working days to complete.

  • Darlington BS 12 Month Regular Saver Issue 2 at 6% NLA. 

    Replaced by Darlington BS 12 Month Regular Saver Issue 3 at 4.75%.

    Other details appear to remain the same.
    Wow. Big drop there! Glad I go on the issue 2 and just goes to show you have to take what you can get at the time.

    That's my strategy too :)  I hope this is not going to follow by reduction of Issue 2 rate.

    To be fair issue 1 fell to 4.75% fairly recently so I'd've said Issue 2 at 6% was more of an outlier.

    Worth noting Darlington BS allow you to have one of each issue so this latest issue can be held alongside the previous two issues if you so wish.
    Yes, I opened Issue 1 instead of 2 by mistake. I contacted them and was told you can have one
     of each issue
