Review of the Charter Savings Bank, Fixed Rate Bond:

splendid experiences

several accounts over the years, all dealt with promptly and with due communication. Very competitive rates Reviewed on: 15th March 2024

Clumsy procedures

On maturity you are offered renewal rates that are lower than they offer on the web. To overcome this you need to have your funds placed in an easy access account temporarily. Farcical. Reviewed on: 27th July 2022

Do Not Answer phone.

Very poor customer service tried numerous times to get through, also get cut off after waiting for 45 minutes. They say the are very busy at any time that you ring them, i say that they do not have enough staff available. This is very frustrating and i can not recomend Charter Savings Bank to anyone that expects any kind of customer service. Reviewed on: 9th June 2022

Look Elsewhere for a bank that cares

Do not use this bank. It took six days for them to return my funds. In This day of fast payments this is totally unaceptable and in no way fair for the customers of this bank. This seems to be an ongoing problem looking at other reviews of this bank. They do not seem interested in changing the way in how they choose to do things. I guess they just pocket the additional interest which is totally unjust. Reviewed on: 8th June 2022

Very slow to return your Funds

Would not recomend this bank as they hold on to your money for days when closing the account, in this day of fast payments this is totally unaceptable. would deffinatley look elswhere if you wish to be treadted as a valued customer. Reviewed on: 1st June 2022

Terrible service

I applied to remove my money 90 days ago on 95 day account they won’t give us our money until August - another 94 days!! Nobody answers the phone. Tried for 2 hours. This is a disgusting company. Reviewed on: 26th April 2022

Very very slow transfer on money back

They hang on to your money 1 2 days after the click date to earn themselves interest whilst you loose out.. Beware Reviewed on: 21st March 2022

They hang on to your money

They delay payment of funds to your account from matured account. one / email - they ignore. Need your money quickly - Good luck with that! Reviewed on: 1st March 2022

Very poor service

I tried to open a two year bond, they needed proof of my Current Account this was sent via email as per phone call, I was told if Charter savings was late in opening my account the 14 day period would be extended, they took over the 14 day period will not honour the extension and will not send a welcome pack but they will accept a cheque but won't give me any sort code or account number they want me to pay them directly and just add my ref: number sounds a right mess, But to be fair they had a good excuse Christmas? I did say did she realise it's now February? Reviewed on: 10th February 2022

Top class sevice

Been with Charter for about 18 Months with no problems ,first class sevice. Reviewed on: 27th November 2021

A Fair Return on Your Funds

We're all well aware that interest levels on savings are not what we would like on our savings and we search for the best deal around with a bank or building society we know and feel we can trust. Well I've dealt with Charter Saving Bank over a good number of years and have been impressed with the interest rates offered and also the quality service experienced as an account holder. Give Charter Saving Bank a look before entrusting your hard earned cash to just another bank. They've done well for me! Reviewed on: 11th September 2019
