Close Brothers Savings Savings reviews (4870)

Always on the Front Foot!

5
Close Brothers fulfils all the basics expected of a good bank. Its website is clear and Its written communications exemplary. And it keeps to the rate promised (contrary to some building societies where they close offers sometimes before the mailing arrives). But, as an older depositor, what takes Close Brothers to another level is the unhurried guidance and help from customer services. They are patience personified. In all my years of dealing with Close Brothers it has always been on the front foot. Reviewed on: 27th February 2023

Reassurance

5
For me the first time putting my savings into something that was online only, with scary messages of all the fraud that goes on was slightly daunting. However from doing my research at the time Close Brothers came up trumps. And have continued to do so, with always keeping me informed straight away about where my money is. Reviewed on: 27th February 2023

Easy to use website, a good range of account options and generally good interest rates

5
Never had any problems with account admin and interest rates and range of accounts is good. When looking for a home for maturing funds this is always a bank that I check. Reviewed on: 27th February 2023

Excellent savings interest rates and excellent customer service

5
I was impressed with the simplicity of opening a savings account with Close Brothers a couple of years ago. I then wanted to ask a few questions before opening an ISA last year, and was delighted to speak with a real person, who helpfully answered all my questions immediately. On the basis of both their interest rates and their customer service, I've recommended Close Brothers to another family member, and would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone else.

Clear & Straight Forward

Allways very good and informative as to what there is to invest in Reviewed on: 26th February 2023

Reliable Savings

5
Close Brothers offer decent interest rates and are very easy to deal with. Their online account opening is fast and easy to understand and if you have any issues someone is available to speak to you on the other end of the phone. Good customer service Reviewed on: 26th February 2023

Excellent Service

5
I opened an online fixed rate bond recently and the interest rate was the best available for non-sharia accounts. The whole process of opening and funding the account was very well simple and straightforward. My account is easy to access online, and overall Close Brothers have provided me with an excellent service. Reviewed on: 25th February 2023

Positive, helpful and easy communication.
