Good rate of interest in comparison with competitors

4
Good rate of interest in comparison with competitors, which for a savings a/c is the most important feature. Its a shame that savers are restricted to only one linked a/c for withdrawals. These transactions used to take quite a long time but have got quicker, particularly for withdrawal requests made in the morning. However, with many competitors withdrawal transfers are instant. Another feature of competitor savings banks is the ability to have your savings amount divided into pots/silos for different savings. e.g house move, wedding, holiday etc Reviewed on: 11th March 2025

Took us a while to setup Power of Attorney account for my father but more than happy with the assistance we got. I then setup my own account and then recommended my partner open account as well. The good thing is that RCI are quick to respond when interest rate rise. Reviewed on: 11th March 2025

I recently opened an accessible savings account, after shopping around for a good interest rate. Setting up the account was v.easy. I had a query in relation to first transactions, customer service came back swiftly, professional but friendly. The online banking platform is easy to operate and see relevant info that I need. Info is presented clearly & uncluttered. It also is reassuring in relation to logging in security. I am very impressed, after being an early adopter of online banking with another Bank; RCI really ticks boxes. Reviewed on: 11th March 2025
