Excellent monthly savings rate!

5
Excellent monthly savings interest rate with a good maximum of £500 permitted per month. Much better than other providers. Was able to benefit from this despite not having to open a Current Account with them, which was a bonus, although initially, I could only invest £50 per month for a year. But still a great deal. They rewarded me for my loyalty, which is very rare these days. Customer service agents are, friendly, and knowledgeable. Response times are very quick if you have any queries, and easy but safe access to online accounts is another added bonus. Highly recommend. Reviewed on: 3rd November 2024

Great customer service

I have recently opened a Members savings account. Communication is immediate and I have found opening the account relatively straightforward. I do not live near to Essex, so cannot visit a branch and rely on postal or telephone contact: I have always found this to be easy, and the advisors I have spoken to over the telephone to be readily available to help me and seek the best options to get the most out of my savings accounts.
