Virgin RS7. Thank you. It took several more attempts for me, five or six maybe but the account's open now.

I keep getting the above on desktop and app. Anyone else? Is this what is mentioned above by @BestSeagull?

Virgin RS Issue 7

That's what I got at first, but had success on the second attempt - just keep trying would seem to be the best plan…

Hanley - and their Branch RS pays interest at the end of August too.

Yes, the same. Just keep trying, one of the attempts will take.

ETA. I wouldn't bother calling them, their wait times are abysmal at the best of times…

Santander: I mistakenly paid in £300 the other day instead of £200 and it's not been returned either!

Question on the AIB Regular Saver: am I reading their T&Cs right that as it doesn't have a pay in limit but rather a threshold that goes up regardless of whether you pay in or what you withdraw it's possible to withdraw a chunk at any time and pay it back at any time before maturity?

Thanks for the replies.

Still can't get it done. Must have tried a dozen times.

Will leave until tomorrow.

I had the same error message when I tried to apply for a current account but did give them a call. Got through instantly, no waiting. Now 1h later I had my current account opened via phone, my regular saver opened, an Everday Saver closed and arranged for my credit file to amended and search removed. The latter they will follow up with me as this was due to a complaint outcome for closing my current account in error last year.

You can call them directly on 01412217300 in Glasgow. It's the number they provide for those calling from abroad when 0800 numbers don't work.

Overall, best service received by a bank in a long time.

I got through to a very helpful agent pretty much instantly by calling the number mentioned by @mhoc - 0345 608 1604. As also mentioned, going through security did take a little while, but that was largely because I couldn't for the life of me remember or find the four digit telephone banking security number which she confirmed I had set up at some point,
