Good Savings Rate Secured

I was able to secure a comparatively good savings rate on my fixed deposit which is a challenge in the current financial climate: so thank you Close Brothers. Reviewed on: 25th February 2021

Easy to start, easy to save.

After my NS&I saving rate was slashed, I had to find a suitable alternative. Close Bros was not a company I had heard of before but found it on an online comparison site. Sign up was very easy and customer service quickly helped me out when I had issues funding the account in time. 10/10. Reviewed on: 25th February 2021

Excellent customer service from friendly staff with interest rates hard to beat Reviewed on: 25th February 2021

Easy to open and access

4
I found the account was easy, and hassle free to open. It was also easy to access it on-line. Apart from one day, when on-line access did seem to play up (which is why I haven't rated all the stars). I also get an email each time I make a deposit. Which is comforting, as I always worry about sending money to the wrong account. Reviewed on: 25th February 2021
