Leeds BS seems to be having issues, too:

Their site was down c.midnight -  and today, whilst deposit totals appear mostly correct, there is no transaction history to check any discrepancies. 

And yet they and others can send out emails regarding the protection limit going up, hmm 🤔

For what it's worth, just looked at my accounts via the app and two out of three are now showing the correct amounts. One still not showing payment.
edit: just to add, if I look via online, all three accounts are still showing the  wrong amounts.

This is posted on the Monmouthshire blog-

In the app, select "more" and then "blog"

Didn't even know they did a blog, they could have sent an email or a message when logging in on app or something

For anyone looking for some non-MonBS content, here's something:

Anyone so minded as to try for the postcode-restricted Chorley BS Regional Flexible Saver, and you aren't in the postcode area, for me this failed even with a branch visit and being a customer since 1999.

They were polite but adamant. (I was polite but "expressed my disappointment"  )

Why was you disappointed?

It states that it is postcode restricted, so I am surprised that you went to the trouble of attempting to apply.

1. Because 5.15% is better than 4.40% in my instant access (or 4.55% if you consider my instant access Triple Access WBBS account), so I am always disappointed to get lower interes;

2. I was in branch anyway. In the past I have found rules sometimes get disregarded when visits are made in person, so it was worthwhile asking the question.

I hope that clarifies my position for you.

Right can confirm my available balance with Monmouthshire 7% is correct with £3000, transactions list is basically the same, only difference is an additional + £1000 after the + - £1000 transaction

For all sorts of reasons - the services responsible for sending marketing communications are entirely separate from the systems which support online access!

Anyone having issues getting confirmation of payee matches? I've paid one account, but when setting up the payment for the second it thinks I'm paying to a personal HSBC account.

Yep, wanted to add Adcock to a different current account a week or so ago but no match, either with old or adjusted new details. Guessing it's part of a wider issue and that's why they haven't relaunched any Regular Savers yet.

I found that you have to quote all of your names including middle, then I had a successful COP.

Successfully passed COP today on Issue 5 (but that required omitting the 5 from the string that starts R5G - so the reference is 0 followed by the remaining 7 digits that made up the original account number.) Nationwide only have a field for first and last name so I included middle in the first name box and it worked fine.

even online, the applications are manually checked - it took a couple of days for them to open mine (as a new customer).

while i'm here, @bridlington1 - the special conditions for the the standard and regional Chorley RS on page 1 states "Only one Regular Saver and one Seasonal Saver can be held in any 12 month rolling period."

it should really be...

"Only one Regular Saver, one Seasonal Saver and one Regional 2 Year Flexible Saver can be held in any 12 month rolling period."

Thanks for pointing this out. This appears to've been an error carried forward as the first Chorley BS RS to appear on p1 of this version of the thread was added before the first Regional 2 Year Flexible Saver was launched and I tend to copy/paste and edit listings when new issues are launched.

This has now been corrected on p1 of this thread.

Monmouthshire RS

Glitch seems fixed. The correct balances are showing in the app now. 

Yep ... my transactions show added (+), removed (-), and added (+) all with date 01 Dec.

Still showing + and then - online in my two RSs, so still to be credited properly. App has stopped working and can't get reload to work (as another forumite mentioned earlier).

@Bobblehat I was also using the app (Android) ... I get the impression online (website) is a bit behind
