Great rates to lock in your money regular comms to update you, an easy account to manage Reviewed on: 30th March 2024

It was extremely easy to save with Smart Save.

It was extremely easy to save with Smart Save. Unlike other providers when my account matured I was able to deal with transferring the money into a new account very straightforwardly on the Internet and did not have to speak to customer services over the telephone. The interest rates are also competitive Reviewed on: 2nd February 2024

I was quite anxious at the beginning of saving

I was quite anxious at the beginning of saving with SmartSave as I did not know the company and could not believe the interest rate I was going to get. On the dot, after a year, I got a statement from them and smiled at the interest I had made. I am awaiting funds being put into my bank account on 6 February 2024. Reviewed on: 2nd February 2024

Top Rates - Easy and Straightforward.

Opened the account on line. Really easy and straightforward. Account up and running in no time at all. Products excellent and very competitive. Dont know why i didnt open the account sooner. Would definately recommend. Have not had to use customer service but if its as slick as the account set up. Then i cant imagine it wouldnt be anything other than helpful.
