Just tried to open the Hanley Eco BS 1 Year Online Smart Saver and it looks like they might have disabled online applications for now - I get the same message either while applying through online banking (as an existing customer) or from their homepage (as a new customer would).

The application is currently unavailable.

We are currently experiencing some problems and are unable to continue with your application. Please try again later.

I've just opened one in the last half hour with no problem. 

I'm still unable to open the account. I closed my only Hanley Eco BS account (a Branch Saver) a couple of months ago but still have access to online banking, so was hoping I could apply from there and avoid having to prove my ID again.

I guess it's possible that they'll allow you to access online banking for a while in order to obtain documents or statements for old accounts, but not allow you to open new accounts ?

If anyone is in a similar position (can access online banking but has no open/active accounts) and has been able to open this RS account then please let me know, otherwise I'll give it a miss. 

I closed my Hanley account last year and applied as a new customer saying on the application form that I was not an existing customer.  However on the summary they had changed it to that I was . I attempted to change it and then got the error problem.  They sent me an email saying my application had been saved I clicked on the link in it they sent a password which initially didn't do much to help.  Following day I clicked on link again got new password took me to application form didn't try amending anything and then application was approved.  Following this found it in my account summary using my past ID.  Funded by DC which was instant.

This is fantastic, thank you for sharing as I would have missed this.

Can you use your Zopa current account to pay monthly regular savers and thereby earn a boosted rate from Zopa by depositing the required funds on a monthly basis into the Zopa current a/c?

Principality 2025 XMAS RS payout received (Lloyds) and additional Issue 4 RS showing with £200 transfer for me. 

Great service by Principality as always!

Same for me, with the bonus of grabbing my first 6 month Iss 4 two weeks ago,  so I've finally joined the multiple 6 month brigade!

I guess I can apply for the new Xmas RS too, now that the old one has disappeared?

Yes you can, but you could easily have applied for it yesterday as it's a new issue, as I did exactly that.
I'd already given instruction for 2025 Christmas RS to morph into another 6 month Issue 4 with £200. That's been done today and rest of funds received, and quickly transferred to Zopa SS. Remains to be seen if I will be equally as lucky with 1 yr RS maturing next week into another 6 month Iss 4. Possibly pushing it a bit, but we shall see.

Yes go for it, although as the previous poster says you could have opened it up yesterday as Principality allow one of each account issue!

Just given my maturity instruction for my Principality 6 Month Regular Saver Issue 3 maturing on 7/11.

No secure message sent so looks good.

Hanley RS, is the maturity date from opening or initial deposit? I can’t log in to check until my letters arrive. Thanks
