Ecology BS RS

Further to the above I thought ``sod it" and tried refreshing the account myself to see what happens.

All went rather smoothly really, logged into online banking when I woke up around 4am this morning, requested the closure. Got a text shortly after 9am to say the account had been closed and have now been able to open a new one in the app and get my sort code & account number within seconds.

One thing to bear in mind is that when I tried opening a new account in online banking, it said I already had a RS and wouldn't let me open it, but it would let me open it in the app.

Edited to add: Funds from my old RS have arrived in my nominated bank account so that's rather quick.

Mansfield BS My Milestone RS:

It appears they've tweaked their processes slightly.

I've just opened one of these by post, sent the application form off on Saturday. Previously the next thing you'd get from them is your passbook in the post and you'd have to add it manually to online banking.

Instead I got an email yesterday to say they were processing my application, I received my passbook this morning in the post and logged into online banking to find they'd already added the account without me having to do anything.
