Not until you've received your user id and activation code (by post), you need to register (online) now you have your account number.

I am a bit confused by reports that people have applied for the Scottish BS RS "online"? The version I am waiting for (patiently!) is not the version (at 6.5%) where you can visit a "Relationship Centre" or apply by post. Have I missed that they have issued a version (at 6.5%) that can be applied for purely online? Reports on here say it was due out shortly?

Sorry Bobblehat I’d miss understood your post I replied to earlier re Scottish BS RS 

I’ve opened the Scottish Building Society R/S by post 
My account is open and funded but I’m yet to get online access to my account as waiting still for the activation code. 

Don’t think the online R/S version is available yet

Aah! I guess my post could have been worded better

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.

If made NLA be prepared for hundreds of pages filled with grumbles by people who wouldn't spend for a 2nd class stamp to apply by post missing out on an entire month at 6.5% that is variable and could be lowered any day. Popcorn ready

Well, you can cross me off your moany list, 'cos I won't be one of them complaining. I'll just pick the next on my list to apply for!

Nice account and no geographical restrictions - shame it's branch opening only. Cheeky postal application anyone?

If it goes NLA, I for one will move over to the gardening forum for a few weeks till the dust settles.

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

Scottish BS
My passbook arrived today, cheque was cashed on 14th, credited on 9th.  

I didn't receive user ID, so no online access yet.
