I applied mid afternoon yesterday.
This afternoon I had a phone call as they were having a problem verifying my nominated bank account. As it was I’d applied on my phone and fat fingers put a wrong digit for my bank account. All I had to do was confirm back correct details in my online account which I’d already set up.

Just had a message to say it’s all set up and to check my online messages for all account and paying in details.
Very helpful customer service lady explained that they open each account manually and they’ve been very busy.
so I’m sure those waiting will be sorted with open accounts soon

A note on Earl Shilton : I am a brand new customer and applied yesterday teatime, account details have all been sent to me now and opening deposit completed.

Account is still not showing on the menu (which is a little wonky tbh) but I'm sure things will be done in time.

Application very smooth too so its all good.

Was it from a private number? I had a call yesterday afternoon but as I'm hearing impaired I cannot accept the call.

Account now showing at zero for me, waiting on the deposit showing which to be fair to them they did say could take until tomorrow.

If you currently have Lloyds monthly saver (5.25%) and Club Lloyds Monthly saver (6.25%), what happen if you close Lloyds monthly saver (5.25%) & keep Club Lloyds monthly saver. Do they allow people to open a new Club Lloyds Monthly saver paying 8% ?

No, you would need to close both.

No, breaks the new 'only one regular saver' rule.

I had an identification check fail, applying while logged in at 2am. Application stated I am tax resident in a country in addition to UK. So called today and told they forced the application through, Had same identity fail when applied for Issue 1, and resolution. AML check proves only tax resident in UK, so they were not sure about tax status when applied. Can now see account.

I asked nicely if I could open Issue 2 but no joy. Apparently Issue 2 was only available for 1 or 2 days, and short availability of Issue 2 was why Issue 3 was created and offered. Not sure if this makes sense but is what I was told.
