Oh amazing! That’s great to know, thank you😊 - I might apply for that as soon as the 6.5% one is opened up (in the hope that it’s a hint easier to apply for if I’m already logged into their portal once I’ve become a customer of theirs)

Thanks. I've applied and will see whether I get accepted. I'll report back here in case anyone else is in the same boat.

Ideally I'd have liked to open it in late June / July to fill a gap, but can't guarantee it'll still be available in a month's time so don't want to risk missing out. I'm not too familiar with Teachers Building Society so don't know if they have a habit of pulling accounts quickly.

Applied but got no email confirmation. Anyone else?

Teachers

I haven't received one either so it's probably normal. In internet banking I can see the application is pending so I'm not concerned,

I received one, but OH hasn't. I'm only guessing, but possibly something to do with electronic ID, but no idea why as it should've been possible for both of us.

I sent my passbook back to them for slightly early closure, and it took 10 days from when they received it to get the funds into my account. Reason they gave was that they were busy 🙄

I'm presuming that a first withdrawal in the maturity year would be treated as an early account closure.

I got an email, but Mrs Bobble didn't! Background checks maybe?
