ESBS

Trying to apply as a new customer, put all my detail in and at the end it says “we don’t accept applications from outside UK”. I am abroad for another week so will probably miss this RS, I think it’s unlikely for this account to be available for a long time. Are there any tricks for opening accounts from abroad?

You could try using a UK VPN.

Go incognito?

ESBS WARNING

If your account matures on 11th August 2027, you could conceivably endure 5 days of no access to or interest on your £3000. This is because they have reserved the draconian right to take up to three working days to process any withdrawal.

Zopa did a name match on ecology and appeared to sent but when went back to transactions it was shown as declined and details said payment returned to your account.

Sure. It was more of a quip about Allegro's use of the term guilty. I'm sure he was unaware of the danger (as indeed I was).

Do you mean you are resident outside the UK (you've entered a non-UK address) or just abroad temporarily and the security has detected a non-UK connection?

If the latter then try using a VPN with a UK node (although cleverer security will detect these too).

Could always make a diary entry to make a withdrawal at the beginning of the week in a year's time

I'm sure it's relatively easy to post a link to a spoofed website too

RE: Manchester regular saver issue 2

Did anyone else get the following automated message? I thought the max deposit per calendar month was £250 🤔

I'm pleased to confirm that we have received the money you recently transferred to your Regular Saver account.

You can make unlimited deposits up to £500, each calendar month...
