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.

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

If its like the Manchester/Newcastle one then it will be Newcastle's subsidiary Newcastle Strategic Solutions which runs the front end consumer facing banking web-portals for many organisations.
I recall they even ran the front end for the infamous Icelandic bank Icesave -which collapsed in ?2007? and they would probably rather forget about that one!

Ecology BS - no COP
Indeed, but, I had a 'nightmare' over 3 months late last year with being locked out of my online banking (and once locked out of one, all 3 LBG logins were blocked) on many occasions, during my normal (for a number of years now) routine of making payments to multiple RSs at the start of the month, resulting in many phone calls to Bank of Scotland’s fraud department for the ‘third degree’ – they won’t tell you what the problem is, of course, but I wondered about no COP match payees, so deleted all that I had, redid them, and since them, touch wood, I haven’t had a problem.
May all be coincidence, as I hadn’t had a problem up till then, but I have been ‘nervous’ about making deposits until COP match had been obtained ever since, and it’s only since the ongoing lack of Dudley BS COP match that I have ‘strayed from the path’ once again…

Yes, it has to be from nominated account. I've sent a deposit from other account and it has been returned.
