Hargreaves Lansdown is a fantastic hub for all savings and investment needs under one roof. There are a variety of banks and building societies to choose from offering different length terms, and it's so easy to open an account, top up, and transfer funds between banks if they offer better rates of interest. You know you can trust their list of banks, all covered by the FSCS. Once you are registered with Hargreaves Lansdown, there is no need to go through all the admin and identification required when opening accounts independently. Their communication and security are excellent, their call-back is excellent and there is a wealth of information on all areas of savings and investment. Read more Read less

HL came out top for range of sustainable funds and are a big player. Attempted their online pension transfer, which fell over to a "website currently unavailable" message. Called helpline. Apparently it's been down "for a few weeks". Any date for a fix? "as soon as possible. We don't know when. Try this paper form instead" . Really not what I was looking for, for efficient online SIPP management. Clearly not a priority for them to fix. Nor do they even bother to warn you at the outset. Read more Read less

    Good to deal with.

    Generally good to deal with, but it would be better if messages where Emailed rather than having to log in to read messages.

Their ISA Savings hub has the advantages of switching between accounts without the transfer time delay in Standard ISAs. I'm able to have the best interest rates within 24hrs to 48hrs as opposed to Upton a month, where interest rates could drop whilst in transfer. Their website is poorly designed with very small links positioned across the whole page instead of in one place, such as across the top or in drop down menus. I've uneccessserilly had to call up the help desk to ask how to do simple tasks, because the page is not intuitive. I'm pretty good with. Read more Read less
