    Tipton & Coseley 125 Anniversary Regular Saver

    Just to confirm for anyone interested, I (as an existing T&C member outside the original postcode area for this product) sent a signed and scanned application form to 'info@thetipton.co.uk' yesterday afternoon.

    Earlier today I logged into my app and could see the 125 Ann. RS there along with the 8 digit account number (i.e. within less than 24 hours).

    I then made a bank transfer and got COP to match - though I had to force it to suggest a correction to my name as my initial attempts weren't matching (it seems T&C used 'Mr' and my first initial only as my first name). Payment made with no issues. Not yet shown in the app but I think T&C payments generally show the next working day.

    TLDR: Anyone eligible for the T&C 125 Anniversary Regular Saver can email an application form; no need for stamps or a tram ride to a branch.

    Has the Nationwide AGM happened? Did the "member's rep" (the one opposed by the existing board) get elected?

    My OH is trying to open a Furness Summer 2027 regular saver online via the app. He gets to page 7 which require him to put the initial deposit and where it has come from. Then he has to confirm that he has read and agree with the following 6 sheets and he has ticked them all.

    At this point he clicks on confirm and it comes up with "oops something went wrong incorrect terms and conditions" and he cant progress.

    Scrapped the application and started again several times - even I've tried but made no progress beyond this page

    Tried ringing the helpline number and the line would not connect. The branches close at 3 on a Friday

    Any suggestions please?

    Can't confirm how it's done with Furness but usually the online application process "hands off" the face/id scanning bit to your phone.

    Finally managed it - tried the app, the tablet, 2 browsers, 8 OTP, a phone call, started again over and over and finally OH got his application accepted - just waiting now for the welcome email with his username and account number which seem to be slow to arrive …

    In my experience, yes. But others haven't experienced that. So it's hit and miss

    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?

    I think for a total of 14 days interest on £200 it's not worth the effort. I'll cancel, thanks.
