We're sorry

We’ve taken the difficult decision to temporarily stop accepting new savings account applications to ensure colleagues can continue to provide vital support to existing customers at this unprecedented time.

This is undoubtedly going to cause a level of inconvenience, but please be reassured that we’ll reinstate the ability to accept new account applications at the earliest opportunity. Thank you for your understanding at this time.
