Lloyds CoP

It's not, if it's confirmed it doesn't give this particular warning. Note it states, "We can't check these account details." If you continue to the payment screen it also has a, 'can't be checked' warning against the payee details.

I've just tried it again and CoP's still not working for me next day.

Interesting. I’m stating the obvious here but that’s a Lloyds issue and would suggest nothing to do with Ecology.

Yep and, as I said, it allows you to make the payment anyway. It's only like going back to the days before CoP.

That makes sense.
I always seem to pass the ID checks electronically so was surprised when I recently applied for a Dudley RS as a new customer that they wanted me to post them a certified passport copy etc. I didn't proceed.
I applied for the new Ecology RS last night and got the account opened immediately.
So I guess you just don't know what will happen.

In case anyone else wonders about Monmouthshire timelines, my RS had its maturity interest credited between 9am and 10am on the day of maturity

I would say this is a Lloyds problem, not an Ecology one. Lloyds are fiddling a lot with their systems right now. My CoP on Santander worked fine yesterday, a minute or two after I had completed my Ecology application, so Ecology have made their data available to the CoP database.

Ecology BS - no COP

I had the same with Bank of Scotland, so it seems to be an LBG 'thing'? I went ahead, and the money arrived instantly, and I have the intention of doing a new payee for the September deposit, in the hope that things have been 'sorted' by then…?

Having said that, I still can’t get a COP match from Bank of Scotland for Dudley BS, despite my first account with them being opened in June...

Ecology. I had the same and then got an email to say the account was set up a couple of hours later. Might have been volume of apps at same time?

LBG CoP to Ecology

Unless you want to, once it's setup and you know you've entered the details correctly you won't need to set it up again, it'll be in your payees list.

Ecology

Opened on their website using my desktop, account active straight away and deposit instantly received from Santander. I've also downloaded the app. Really impressive stuff from them technology wise. The website feels like Manchester / Newcastle BS with a different skin on
