Review of the Leek Building Society, Savings:

View on product page

Not bad for a local building society.

Started saving for a specific reason and decided to try out this local building society. It was a fast process to get my savings account set up. Not as fast as the national organisations but still fairly good. Online web app is very basic, would of been great in 2010, but honestly it's simple and not overcomplicated and actually I quite like that. An actual app for android/iphone, rather than a web app would be way more secure and easier though. I like the security's of the memorable word, but I still think 2 factor authentication needs to be implemented via a code sent to smartphone. Major flaw: Money doesn't show in savings account when deposited straight away, leaving your cash in limbo for a few hours until it shows. This is very different to most savings accounts that show up instantly. This always makes you a tad nervous when you deposit. I do like the fact you can withdraw money both in person and online. Overall it's not bad. Reviewed on: 25th January 2025
