As with other reviews, I have opened a fixed rate bond with them and immediately receieved an email telling me how to pay money into the account and that I would receive my user ID in the post. I transefered the money, expecting to be able to check it was received once I had my log in details. 2 weeks later, I still don't have login credentials and they don't answer the phone, I'm not of course worried as to where my money is with no way of checking they have it.

Deposited money in the account. Haven't received user ID through the post from Firstsave, so I can't log in to my account to check whether my deposit has been received. No automated email from Firstsave to confirm they have received the deposit, which is something decent banks normally do. Tried phoning customer services to enquire, but after waiting for 33 minutes for an answer, I hung up. I emailed them. No answer. Am currently waiting for them to pick up the phone. 14 minutes of irritating muzak is all I've got thus far........... I wish I hadn't bothered with this lot. If there is a cooling off period, I will be removing my money (assuming they have actually received it) and investing it elsewhere. I wanted to choose 0 stars, but that option isn't available.

It was highly frustrating to be on hold for 45 minutes only to be informed at 1700 that the bank was operating different hours from those advertised and was shutting at 1700 rather than 1800 as advertised!
