Review of the RCI Bank, Freedom Savings Account:

BEST OF THE BEST

Simple easy access account with the best rate out there.Easy to set up and manage. Reviewed on: 24th December 2016

Terrible Customer Service

Stay away from this bank. You will wait for ever to get through on the phone and no live Chat. I am going to close my account. Reviewed on: 3rd January 2023

Interest rates

B of E increased the bank rate by .5% some weeks ago but the freedom savings rate remains unchanged. Emails enquiring as to whether a change of rate is immenent remain unanswered. May be a time to move savings?. No staff involved. Achievable electronically. SA Reviewed on: 2nd January 2023

Service

Update 17th December 2022 - money has now arrived Reviewed on: 16th December 2022

Worst Bank Ever

I have been locked out of my account. After waiting on the phone for over an hour, I finally gave up. I was calling UK from Spain so goodness knows how much the phone call cost. This is not the first time I have had this problem and I will move my money away from RCI Bank as soon as I can access it. This is not poor service, it is totally non existent service Reviewed on: 15th December 2022

Appalling customer service

Wasted hours trying to withdraw my deposits despite instant access. Still waiting for funds after 2 days Reviewed on: 8th December 2022

No Response from RCI

I have tried to contact RCI bank for two weeks now. No response on phone despite holding for up to an hour several times a day. Have emailed 4 times and only get an automated response. Terrible service as I need to report a bereavement and apply for probate but unable to talk to anyone at the bank. Reviewed on: 6th December 2022

Terrible service

I have tried on numerous occasions to contact this bank - via email and phone. No response to emails despite 4 attempts. Have phoned more than 20 times and held for over one hour at a time. I am trying to contact them to deal with the estate of a deceased person and this will now delay probate. Appalling service. Reviewed on: 6th December 2022

Help
