Review of the Skipton Building Society, Savings:

ROBBING LOYAL CUSTOMERS!

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

Skipton Building Society

I've never had a problem with Skipton Building Society yet. They are always very helpful whenever I go into branch and always try to help me get the best return on my money. I would recommend Skipton to others. The one issue I have is that I don't find their website very user friendly but if you live close enough or have transport then you can pop into branch.

Excellent service in branch

My branch of the Skipton maybe small but the service is really excellent. I love the 1 year saver account which I use to save for Christmas, very easy to manage with a good interest rate Reviewed on: 24th December 2015

Helpful and clear staff.

Created a cash ISA with Skipton due to the competitive offer due to other companies. One of the most helpful meetings I have had with staff when setting up an ISA, and received a lot of clear advice about the investment I was making. Reviewed on: 25th August 2015

On-line Saver with 4% interest

I have been a customer of Skipton Building Society for the last 20 years and in January this year they brought out a fixed rate on-line savings account paying 4% interest for the first year. I think this is one of the most competitive rates I've seen for a few years. They are always very easy to deal with - either in the local office or when you telephone their UK based office. When I had to "wind" up my parents estate last year after their passing they were most compassionate and helpful. Every so often they have a deal on where they will do a free Will writing campaign, which I took advantage of last year. When the interest rates change on any savings account - they always write to you well in advance so that you can move your money to a higher paying account. I would recommend Skipton as a trustworthy Company to invest in. Reviewed on: 9th August 2015
