I’ve had a savings account with Skipton for many years, and in recent years opened an ISA. The process was so smooth and the staff so helpful. I also have the mobile banking app which is so easy to use Reviewed on: 14th January 2025

Cannot transfer funds, no customer service solution

My Husband has (soon to be had) a savings account with Skipton for 1 yr. He wanted to move some funds but the app said he needed to use his nominated phone (he only has one phone) however his phone would not let him enter the secure number. He called customer service to ask for support and they said they could do nothing as his only phone was not registered... To get his phone activated he had to take in photo ID to a branch, (as branches are closing) the nearest is central London and will take a 4hr round trip. Alternatively he can wait 3-5 days for a form and get his ID verified by a solicitor. Neither option are very modern or user friendly. He is now writing to the CEO Stuart Haire, [email protected] to complain about this unacceptable process which only became apparent when he wanted to move money and will now take approx 14 days to do and he will miss the deadline he needs to meet.

Reply from Skipton Building Society Hello Georgie. We are sorry to hear of your Husband's experience. Please could he reach out to us at [email protected] where we can look into this for him. Thank you - Leah Response date: 10th October 2024

A clunky not so ethical building society

Has some great products including low value fixed savings, and reg savers, plus the app is easy to use. One of my accounts matured, but getting the money out required logging into the desktop and setting up nominated bank account.. for each of the accounts I had; 4. Took more effort than needed, and meant I received 4 paper letters to confirm the changes. They're powered by Barclays which has terrible green credentials, ill fitting for the ethics of a building society. Reviewed on: 9th September 2024

Reply from Skipton Building Society Hello Richard. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. Many thanks - Leah Response date: 17th September 2024

Seamless, easy LISA

I had a Skipton LISA for a number of years, everything was easy to set up, the app was easy to use and navigate and when i came to buy a house with that money as the deposit the whole process was seamless. Reviewed on: 18th June 2024

Rewards loyalty and excellent to deal with

Skipton have rewarded loyal savers more than most banks and building societies over the past year, and have been a pleasure to deal with whenever I've needed to contact them. The product terms are often very clear and they provide excellent flexibility for savers. They are one of my favourite financial institutions andI'll remain a customer for many years to come.
