I'll have to pop up to Scotland sometime as their one hasn't appeared online 

Surely better to submit a postal application, as they will accept one. Even if the travel isn't costing money, the time taken must be worth more than a stamp.

The relationship centre account is the same as the postal one, so you can't double up by going up to Scotland.

No stamp needed - they have a Freepost address in their T&Cs and they'll send you an application pack if you haven't a printer.

Monmouthshire BS

For those who made SO payments to various RS accounts with MonBS in the early hours of yesterday, these have shown in the app within the last hour. It will be tomorrow before they will show on the accounts online (on past experience).

I can see mine online today.

What I'm not getting into is Furness.

Bad news (for me at least)So guessing Principality are fixing loopholes & probably manually?, it's ok though still got my others & still got Monmouthshire & could still get a a First Direct if desperate.

I'm wondering if Principality are checking when you reach a certain amount of accounts or something, there must be a trigger right?, maybe this site is the trigger, hmm 🤔 

I'm defo on their watchlist now, wonder if it's because I submitted instructions during the day.

Hope Dylan doesn't hate me.

Scottish BS Branch/Post RS ...
Am I right in thinking you can even scan the application form (available online) and your POI docs and email the application (if you are not worried about email security)? Can you also pay the first deposit by FP or does it have to be a cheque only before they open the account?

No, I think we discovered that they want a wet signature on application form, physical evidence of identity (printed photo of driving licence) and a personal cheque.

Emailed application form is acceptable, but it must be of a scan with a wet signature so you'll need a hard copy either way.

Initial deposit must be by cheque in the account holder's name (which you can send in by Freepost if you want to keep docs in the post to a minimum).
