COP didn't match the account using the application ref number as payment reference. Account opened yesterday.

Me too, ignored CoP warning and paid the min balance of £25 by FP yesterday (using RBS, some banks don't allow you to proceed past this point).

Showing on account this AM, followed it with remaining month's funding.

You presumably have access online to see the payment? If so, can you confirm that the account number is the same as the application reference?

I've just been on the phone to Hanley, they have confirmed that the reference is the account number.  My old closed account number starts with 000 too, so this should be correct.

My account number is also the reference, an 8 digit number starting 000.

My Branch Saver starts with 0000, about 10000 and 2 years 4 months between the two.

I FPed my opening deposit yesterday morning, well before their daily deadline. The money showed up today, with a credit date of today. I am not overly impressed but can’t be bothered to contact them about it.

Also beware their cut off for payments out is quite early too. If you ask them to make a payment out on a specified future date if they don't get round to processing it till late that day the payment would arrive a working day later than it should.

Anybody got a Newcastle Regular Saver maturing soon?

I got an email recently explaining it will change to an Easy Saver, which is fine but what I don't understand is why the email shows BOTH a monthly rate AND a yearly rate for the account.

I contacted them via Instagram they seem to suggest instructions being given?

Tried contacting them again they now saying they won't talk about account specifics over social media, I'm like I'm not talking about transaction history or anything 😌

Yes, mine matures in 2 days. I'm not interested in the slightest in the 2%/1.98% EA as I'll empty it ASAP - it would probably be more profitable looking down the back of my sofa for sticky old coins

My point is why does the email show 2 rates, I'm used to other regulars ending but they only show 1 new rate

Thank you all for the Hanley RS - as existing customer, applying was a breeze!

Hanley BS recent Regular Savers

Specifically :

1 Year Online Smart Saver (TAR10)

1 Year Branch Smart Saver (TAR09)

I don't see anything in the summary terms or the general terms conditions that prohibit having both accounts.  Or does anyone have information to the contrary ?

Of course the challenge is how to open the Branch version by post or remotely in some way.

Has anyone found the Summary Terms as a pdf or similar for either/both of these accounts ?  When I opened the online account from being logged in, only the FSCS pdf was found, the others were missing (404).

This is also an RS that requires deposits to be made or there will be consequences if missing 3 or more months in total over the term.  In the event of missing 3 or more months contributions, would HEBS actually do what they state.

Anyone successfully opened both? I'm travelling to Stoke for work next week so will give it a go in person unless I'm deterred from doing so

@WillPS
re Hanley - Either way you could stand your ground - point out the terms on either don't say you cant have both

Hanley, my attempt to validate the application failed, currently number 2 in the queue on their phoneline, where I've been for about 15 minutes. If you're ahead of me, please hurry up!

Having spoken with Hanley, they've raised a ticket with their IT people as I'm not the only one who is getting an error message when trying to validate the application, and they can't work out why at the moment.
