RCI Bank Freedom Savings Account reviews (2155)

Review of the RCI Bank, Freedom Savings Account:

Always communicating

Always get notified if any new products or savings rates brought out. Just as it should be Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

A slip cost me £500!

I mistakenly picked add monthly interest rather than credit yearly on a 1-year Fixed Account. As I took some pension in the same tax year this meant I ended up paying 40% tax on my interest. RCI Bank did NOTHING to help and had NO sympathy (despite the fact I’d had accounts with them for over 4 years!) Also their ‘Freedom’ Account is NOT ‘instant access’. Make a withdrawal on a Saturday and you get the money on a Tuesday. With other banks (eg, Santander, Marcus) the money is transferred IMMEDIATELY (so it’s in your linked account when you log in after withdrawing it). Reviewed on: 25th October 2022

Excellent Saving accounts.

I have used RCI bank for some years now, I have always received excellent service, but what I like the most is when the bank of England increase interest rates RCI follow suit increasing the interest on their Freedom saving account almost straight away. Reviewed on: 1st October 2022

BANK settles after bad review

matter resolved following bad review Reviewed on: 26th April 2022

Easy set up, seamless customer service experience

I switched my savings account a couple of years ago, looking for a company that makes it easy to save. With time being the biggest comodity, RCI just make it simple and efficient. When it comes to saving trust is a huge factor and their regular communications make me feel comfortable and secure about having my savings with them. Reviewed on: 2nd April 2022

Transparent and simple

Decent interest rate, easy to use, good communication of changes. Reviewed on: 1st April 2022

Excellent service and rates

I have been investing with RCI for some time now. Depositing and withdrawing funds online is very straightforward and I am impressed by the competitive rates on offer. Reviewed on: 28th March 2022

Safe account.

A safe account with a decent rate of interest. Reviewed on: 19th March 2022

Satisfactory, straight forward online banking

The RCI website is easy to understand and I've never had any problems either depositing or withdrawing funds. Reviewed on: 18th March 2022

Good interest rate & the best online security

I held various "Freedom" accounts with RCI for around 10 years including with power of attorney for my late mother. Accordingly, my wife & I have just opened a joint account. Reviewed on: 18th March 2022

Excellent service

I love my account - good interest rates, instant access and the odd time I’ve needed help from customer service they were great. Reviewed on: 17th March 2022
