Progressive. If you call them, they will change the 2FA to email if that works better for you. That's what I did.

Re: Progressive BS - if you have their app or visit the Profile section when logged in their site, there is the option to change the 2FA choice to either the authenticator or Whatsapp - though I imagine if you need SMS, then you might have to call/message them.

Progressive dont do SMS anymore: its whatsapp or the authenticator. Or as per the above you can persuade them to change it to email.

You can use any authenticator app. I'm not using the salesforce one.

There was a regular saver mentioned upthread (previously missed) where you could return the form by email. I am a current member but out of postcode.

How do I go about opening the account? I cannot see it listed on the website or app

Earl Shilton BS Monthly Saver Online

Applied on Monday evening at 1908 hours as a new saver to ESBS. Was able to set up online access more or less immediately.

Received word this morning (13th) that there was an online message. This contained link to a letter with account details. Account opened within the 3 days promised on application. Deposited £500 using the supplied details this morning (CoP match using Santander).

Deposit not yet showing in online account. Hopefully tomorrow.

what a week it's been in RS land!

Opened Ecology RS, Newcastle RS, Manchester RS (the new ones), Earl Shilton RS and Beverley RS Issue 3. Also opened the new Spring Savings (aka Paragon Bank) 5% easy access account as an additional home for £5K awaiting allocation to RS's.

@Chaykin Building societies can maintain their cash assets simply by reducing their lending. What they offer or withdraw in terms of savings is essentially determined by their mortgage book.
