Review of the Prosper, Investment accounts:

View on product page

New and cheap

Very new provider, so there is little to go on. They seem good, but I'm not convinced they will be around for long. Also it's app only, would prefer web access too. Reviewed on: 20th March 2025

Review of the InvestEngine, Investment Platform:

Quite good

Quite good, but not sure about long term viability. Reviewed on: 1st February 2025

Review of the Smile Bank, Current Account:

View on product page

Very dated systems and attitudes

Very dated IT systems make for a clunky online experience. The staff are very inflexible if there is an issue. I think the only reason they still have customers is due to the "smugness effect" whereby people stick with Co-op for reasons other than competence. Reviewed on: 21st November 2016

Review of the Esure, Car Insurance:

View on product page

Cheap but basic

Cheap premium, but high charges for everything else including changing address details etc. I would not trust them to pay out either, but have not yet had a chance to find out, fortunately. Reviewed on: 19th August 2016

Review of the Halifax, Current Account:

View on product page

Good online system and they pay me £5 a month - what more could you want?

I have no problems as at all with this account - it just works. From the online system to the branches, they are easy to deal with. The staffing can be an issue, but as they have paying-in machines in branch it's no hassle. Reviewed on: 13th May 2016
