Is your nominated account with Santander?  They sometimes have problems verifying nominated account details, which triggers contact to ask for a copy of a bank statement.  Could be what the phone call was about.

Have you tried calling them?

If you've had a missed call from Scottish BS then it would be sensible to call them to find out the reason.

They called me as I made an error on the application form - the boxes for nominated account details I thought were for external payment of interest, as it was to the right of "how do you want your interest paid", so I didn't enter anything. My error.

They took the details on the phone and with no delay the account was opened.

I had my Scottish BS online letter arrive today (dated 15th) - as an idea of timescales I posted off an application pretty much as soon as it was launched, my cheque cleared on 6th Oct, and I registered for online access once my glossy passbook arrived about a week after the cheque cleared. Fans of the previous Monmouthshire online portal may experience a touch of deja vu.

Yes i registered for Scottish BS online on 13/10 and awaiting activation code. 

It’s all a very slow process !

Maybe ….. in today’s post 🤞

I have now opened and funded my Scottish savings online but no RS available as yet.

I wonder how many grumbles we will see if Scottish BS decide there are enough applications for the account and the funding is anticipated sufficient for them to decide to make it NLA and not actually offer an online version?

Just open it by post, folks.

I will have some funds for it tomorrow and the rest by the end of the week, so I don’t know whether to just post off for it in the interest of getting it open this month…

I had nearly forgotten that I sent my application (using Freepost) on October 9. Today, my opening deposit cheque got cashed so it can’t be long until I get my passbook etc in the snail mail. Hoping it will all be much faster from here ….. 🤞

WOW!!

My passbook was in this morning’s post.  Cheque payment credited on the 10th - even though it was only cashed today 🙂

I am glad I sent off the postal application 

Not sure whether I have online access yet. I will try tonight when I get home
