RCI Bank Freedom Savings Account reviews (11984)

Easy usage

4
Easy to set up and online but need a linked account to pay in/ withdraw not a big problem however. The one downside like listed already is that when I joined at a 1.45% interest paid per annum (1.44% if paid monthly) at the beginning of July the interest has now been lowered to 1.2%.

If you want a teaser rate...

3
Moved to RCI in October 2015 when they were offering a rate of 1.65%, it was then lowered to 1.55% in January and has now been lowered to 1.45% (March), pretty disappointing really, the number of changes per year s/b limited. Also, you can only pay money in from a registered account, i transferred money from another account to RCI and it was rejected, taking 2 days to re-appear in my original account, not ideal.

Good rate

3
Easy to open account online and the interest rate is better than most. Cannot comment on customer service as it has not been needed. These are a foreign bank so have a different protection scheme for money Reviewed on: 28th March 2016

Instant access savings

5
Just opened a savings account with RCIbank as it has the best rate of interest around so far for instant access. I had some issues with passwords etc which were of my own making but the bank dealt with them patiently and respectfully. All is up and running smoothly so far with interest shown monthly.
