Long standing customer who has had good service up until now. I renewed an isa bond which pays the interest monthly to an external account and worked fine up untill I renewed in March. Now the interest isnt showing and the online chat just says the admin dept are dealing with it and will take 15 working days. Really unhappy about it. If I owed them money on a mortgage it would be different I'm sure. Other than complaining does anyone know of the procedure for taking this further? Read more Read less

Initially started an account from Accrington branch the lady ( sorry can't remember her name now was very good at explaining what was on offer we chose an account convenient for us.

    So easy to transact with

    I have a couple of savings accounts with Skipton. They are extremely responsive. Offer good interest rates and the App is so easy to use.

I had a twelve month fixed rate bond that matured while I was hospitalised I was unable to get in touch with the skipton, when I was eventually discharged from hospital I went to my local branch to give instructions only to find out that the skipton had second guessed my intentions and reinvested my money into another twelve months bond which is exactly what I wanted .I know that other banks deposit your money into a measly account paying a very low rate of interest but not the skipton ,they did what was best for the customer Read more Read less
