Review of the NatWest, Cash ISA:

View on product page

Easy to use website/easy to transfer money in/out

I signed up for a savings account with Natwest online. I found their website easy to use and the account was set up within minutes. I also use NatWest's mobile app - I find this very accessible. I can transfer money in and out of the savings account easily and can see at a glance how much I have in my account. Although interest rates are low this is across the board with mainstream banks therefore I will not mark them down because of this (written in August 2016) Reviewed on: 30th August 2016

Review of the RateSetter, Loans:

View on product page

Easy to use, accessible website

I have been lending through Ratesetter for a few months. I find the website easy to use and the lending process is explained in a clear way. I have been making around £100 a month in interest since I started lending with them. It is easy to choose whether you reinvest the capital and interest when a person pays back a portion of the loan each month with interest. You can also choose to reinvest only the capital. Although they are not covered by the FSCS they do have a provisional fund. Reviewed on: 15th June 2016

Review of the Standard Life, Pensions:

Easy to use website

I have a company pension through Standard Life. I find their website easy to use and can gather all the information I require within a few clicks. The early 'statement' they send through the post is also useful and enables me to plan for the future. Reviewed on: 28th March 2016

Good product/service

The account suits my needs at present and I personally find it easy to bank with Natwest. THe account was easy to open and didn't take a lot of time. The mobile app is very good for keeping track of my finances and is easy to use. Whenever I call into my local branch the staff are always helpful. Reviewed on: 24th December 2015

Review of the Barclays, Cash ISA:

Products are ok - service can let the bank down

I found the Barclays website east to use to enable me to look at the different Cash ISA's that were available. I then went into branch to speak to a personal banker. In my opinion the process was carried out too hastily and key points (which I only knew about because I had researched online first) such as whether or not interest would be received at the end of the term, yearly or monthly were not raised by the personal banker. Although I would open an ISA with Barclays again, I would only do so after researching the product beforehand. Reviewed on: 26th August 2015
