Review of the RCI Bank, Freedom Savings Account:

Good service for online banking

5
RCI Bank provide a very thorough service and have several accounts with them. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Good rate, responsive bank marred by occasional hiccups

4
I've used RCI for about 5 years and until 2021, without a problem. As a business owner, I sometimes put excess cash over to them for a few days to earn a little interest. This has worked well for the most part. However, on one occasion, it took three or four days for my deposit to register. This was a big deal as the amount involved was the payroll. The deposit eventually registered but it was a hairy few days as RCI didn't know when the deposit would register. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Exemplary service

The perfect online banking experience

5
RCI has looked after my savings better than I could have hoped for. The online experience is smooth and simple, and RCI never fails to give me the best (or near best) interest rate while still giving me instant access to my money. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

RCI offer one of the lowest interest rates on the market and don't tend to follow others. When increases are made, they are one of the slowest to implement. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

I like the app, which gves me all the info I need to see my balance and interest when its paid. And the interest rate is not bad for a bank account at this time of low interest rates. I recommend. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022
