Review of the Chetwood Bank, Savings:

Great rate, easy withdrawals.

5
Nice easy recent transfer to Chetwood. Best rate on the market, and fast smooth withdrawals when I've needed to. No app, but mobile access via browser is easy enough. Reviewed on: 9th February 2025

Getting started

Very easy to get set up but an App would be good for easier access. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2025

Good product but poor online banking

3
Chetwood offer a competitive interest rate, but the setup process was cumbersome and the online banking offer is poor compared to rivals like Tandem or Chase. But the customer service is good and I’m pleased with the product. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2025

IT, Website and Provision of Documents all substandard

1
One experience: all dreadful - 1. When trying to log in online, the verification code failed to come through to my phone on repeated occasions, then started coming through in torrents several hours later when it was too late. 2. Once online, I discovered that I can't get a straightforward statement with your bank name and address, my name, address and account number - which anyone would need if e.g. providing proof of wealth 3. I was informed it would take two working days to have a custom statement provided - in 2025??!!! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2025

Not penalised easy access high interest account

5
Very easy to apply and what I like about the easy access account is you are still allowed 1 withdrawal everyday if need be without being penalised on the interest rate unlike many competitors. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2025

Opening an online account with Chetwood Bank.

5
I opened an online savings account with Chetwood Bank 3 months ago because they offered the best interest and had really good reviews. Opening an account was very easy and so far so good, would recommend. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2025

Although only web based it was easy to set up and navigate. It fills the gap of offering a great interest rate once you have maxed out a cash ISA with a better interest rate Reviewed on: 22nd January 2025

The website is easy enough but there are far better apps out there. The savings rate is excellent though. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2025
