Just had notification that my RS is good to go. Don't often use browser on phone to access fin accounts but did here - Chrome on Galaxy is utterly unusable.

Just had notification that I'm good to go too, although no account showing yet.
I never use Chrome for anything unless I am stuck. Prefer to use Brave (chromium based) on Xiaomi phone and that seems to work fine, albeit do any financial online stuff (not app based obviously) on laptop if I can.

You might need to use the "add account" function at the top of the account list.

They sent me a 2nd message, about a hour after the account open one, to say the account had been added to the online portal.

Thank you both. I'll leave it until tomorrow and check then. I've already funded and at least passed COP with BoS, unlike with Ecology last week.

I did 'add account' about 10 mins after the email and the account was added instantly.

Newcastle and Manchester Regular Savers (issue 2)

I’ve just opened one of each of these. I already have an issue 1 Regular Saver with each of them too. Does anyone know whether I can pay into them from any bank account? Or do deposits HAVE to come from the nominated account?

(it’s potentially a bit of a faff to be deleting and reentering payees each time if I need to use different reference numbers!)

I only have 1 issue with Newcastle so cant opine on that but below is my experience with Manchester

You get different reference numbers, so wont have any issues by having same nominated bank account. Mine is with Barclays and didn't have any problem in funding issue#2 and also funded issue#1 for this month after opening issue#2, funds appeared to both the issues as it's supposed to be

Unfortunately if like me you use RBS/Ulster/NatWest then you can't, as RBS online systems don't allow multiple payee's with the same account/sort code - even if they have different references.

What I did was open a "Easy Saver" with both building societies and pay into that, only requires £1 minimum to keep it open during the rest of the month.

Then login to each building societies online banking portal and do an internal transfer into each regular saver. One downside is that internal transfers at a weekend/bank holiday are not actioned until the next working day.
