Gives a boss account of itself

Good. Alas the interest rate rise after I had fixed my account, but it was very competitive at the time. Reviewed on: 30th January 2024

Ruthless outfit

1
Their attitude to fixed rate accounts is very inflexible. In these uncertain times of high inflation post covid I expected them to be more sympathetic to pensioners with fixed incomes who committed to five year fixed rates Reviewed on: 30th January 2024

A Smart way to Save

This is my second year with SmartSave. I carried over my investment because I couldn't fault my experience. Clarity of information. Ease of opening and accessing online account. Great interest rates! Reviewed on: 30th January 2024

Setting up ISA’s

4
Generally easy to set up two ISA’s one for my wife the other for me. However we had just set up a new joint bank account with Santander and one of our deposits (can’t remember which now) was rechecked as the validity of the bank account couldn’t be checked. I didn’t get a satisfactory answer as to why this was the case. All was eventually resolved satisfactorily. Reviewed on: 29th January 2024
