Make sure your DD doesn't keep going to the old account.  It took me almost 2 months to get mine sorted.

Do you mean standing order?

Nationwide needs to get its act together. Too soon / too late.
 I had an email informing me on Monday that my RS had matured into an instant access account and that I could access my money, but online it was still showing as an RS.
Today when it is clearly in the Instant Access I moved the money out, but they say I still have an RS so I can’t open a new one. Not good enough.

The answer's simple: don't open another RS with such an incompetent company

On the other hand, there are threads on this and other MSE forums, complaining about pretty much every financial provider for one thing or the other.
So if you leave N/wide, it might be a case of out of the frying pan into the fire !

I know, that was kind of my point, like the terribly slow Monmouth BS that have the nerve to offer 7% on £1500 a month: avoid at all costs or stop whingeing about it :-)

I haven't found MBS or in fact any other building societies particularly slow when opening any of my accounts with them. It helps if you don't have an expectation of everything happening instantly. 

Me neither, I can't understand why people moan about the trivial, when there's a good offer

That would be a great example of self-harm for those who have some spare cash kicking about and who have exhausted better offers (of which there aren't many)

Exactly. If it's a good account, open it and ignore the trivial irritations. If the trivial stuff bothers people as much as it seems to on here, they should leave the company alone and have a happy, stress free life.

Be grateful it is Nationwide not Halifax as months later I still haven't been able to open the new one, I've given up.

I had that problem once with Halifax. Went into branch and it was fixed immediately. For some reason the old account was still flagged as RS, though it showed as easy access online.

An "incompetent" company that gave £150 to anyone just a couple of months ago just for being members. Yes, must be cancelled from Earth ...

Mine matured on the 22nd, it’s let me open a new one today.

Yes, mine matured on 22nd and I have just opened a new one (24th).

That was my whole point. I was being ironic. People whinge about the petty stuff all the time and ignore the good points
