So happy with Smartsave

When we first joined Smartsave in 2021 for a 1 year fixed bond, the savings rate was better than anywhere else. It was so easy to complete the application on line and when the year was up in 2022, we were so pleased we decided to reinvest with Smartsave for another 1 year fixed rate savings which suits us. All done online and very easy to do. The interest rate this time was brilliant and shall look forward to it maturing later this year. Will definitely use Smartsave again. Reviewed on: 7th March 2023
