I would say just open an account with them asap - if the 1st July qualifying date mentioned on Moneyfacts is true (though it's listing has been removed from Moneyfacts now), then you should be able to open & fund an account before them… an online EA account or their default postal/branch/email 5.50% RS might be the cheaper/quicker options.

Santander.

I requested closure in the app. It took a couple of hours for the old Regular Saver to close, after which I was able to open and fund the new one immediately. I used online banking to do the same for my partner; this took slightly longer, but was still completed the same day.

My Buckinghamshire RS is now open and I can make deposits but won't do so until Monday.

They also said they added my nominated account but I can't see it and there was a strange message. There's still plenty of time to get this fixed as I am not planning on withdrawing anything for a year.

I originally had this message, it has now disappeared and my current account is showing, but it says "awaiting approval". I haven't made my first deposit yet.

I don't think it has to do with deposits as it says it won't be enabled unless you request it. Mine got swiftly approved in response to my internal message. I haven't sent any deposit yet, either.

Do they allow you more than one RS?

yes I have two RS with them… I didn't qualify for the previous Loyalty RS, but I will for this - so will have 3.

Mine is now open too (applied Thu just before midnight (not midday as previously stated ! )).
It's still not showing online, so I added it manually, and it's now 'pending' (perhaps it would have been added automatically after this afternoon’s update?)

My NA is showing and cleared for use, but, it's been showing since the first time I logged into their online system (IIRC?).

COP match confirmed, but as the term starts from the first deposit, I'll also leave it until Monday.

Yes Dudley allow you to have multiple RS as long as they are different types of RS, not different issues of the same RS. I have three RS with them currently.

Dudley BS have accounts you can open online and fund same day. Other accounts need a posted application form which might or might not be processed before the necessary date to be a member. You takes your choice!
