Review of the Skipton Building Society, Savings:

ROBBING LOYAL CUSTOMERS!

1
Skipton's approach these days seems to be to constantly degrade existing customers accounts to ensure they pay less interest than they do new customers (Beware new customers, your time will come!). In the case of my ISA an account opened last year had been degraded to about 75% of the rate offered new investors! And account had already been changed by me last year because exactly the same had happened then! If you don't keep checking, you lose interest. If you do check, you waste time going in to "upgrade" account , causing inconvenience, and extra CO2 caused by extra unnecessary visits! They say they all do it, but compare Nationwide and Family/National Counties who have treated loyal customers fairly throughout. When it's re-opened, it's the same money as before, but change is necessitated by Skipton constantly moving the Goal posts. Come on Skipton, start treating long term loyal customers fairly. You wouldn't be there without us! Reviewed on: 1st November 2022
