Two weeks to transfer money from linked account

I signed up for the online saver account, and linked it to my current account. I chose to transfer an initial amount on opening, but nothing appeared. The following day, still nothing, so I tried again, ... Nothing. I phoned the support, for through the maze of options to be told the obscure way to check online when my money would appear in my savings account. My savings account showed that it would take two weeks before the money from my linked account would appear in my savings account. That's an unacceptable time for an online transfer, so closed my new account and looked elsewhere for account linked by something faster than a sloth! Reviewed on: 15th December 2018

Branch is open

I opened an online savings account but needed to contact to go to the Post Office to submit my security checks. Unlike so many banks I can still do this in my local small town. Quick and efficient service - a convenient product that actually seems to care about individuals like me who don't want to have to travel 20 miles each way to visit a branch to get service. Well done Post Office! Reviewed on: 6th January 2018

Bad experience.

Although the proceeds from the sale of my house were transferred immediately by CHAPS into my Post Office Online Account it took another 7 days for the monies to appear in my Account. I am still awaiting a response from the PO to explain where the monies went! Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

PREMIUM BONDS

Put all your savings in Premium Bonds. 100% safe, and if you are like me, a steady supply of £25 , £50 , and £100 wins keep coming in, with the possibility of a million pounds. Don't be put off by "experts" who say you'll never win! I win almost every month, topping any interest rate you can get elsewhere. Reviewed on: 31st March 2017

efficient service for both deposits and withdrawals at my local PO
