Just opened up a Cash ISA.

My wife and I have quite a few ISAs and opening this account was the hardest of them all, by far! Took a week from opening the account to receiving my login information so that I can move funds in. You only have 14 days in which to do so and I've already wasted a week. The service desk promised to email me the account details and never did. To transfer an existing ISA into this account you need to manually download and complete a Transfer Form and post it to them - others do this online and all completed within 24 hours! No confirmation that they received the form so I don't know if it will move across - time will tell! Another call tomorrow I think. When it did finally arrive, their account information letter is not very clear. To transfer funds in from your bank they detail 2 account numbers are required, one for the company and a unique one for your actual account. They don't make it clear which the second account number is for as it just says "Your account number". Obvious when you know the answer, but the letter could simply say "Your unique SBS account number found at the top of page 1". So their business practices seem to be as they were in the 1980s! Not impressed and wont be using them again. One positive, their interest rate is competitive. Read more Read less
