Lack of personal contact by telephone with a customer adviser Reviewed on: 18th March 2024

Lack of communication

5
I've put money into a savings account at a great rate of interest. I do feel a little uncomfortable with it though because it's not a well-known bank and there has been very little communication from SmartSave, barely even an acknowledgement of how much I've paid in, just one email with a link to my account. I don't want marketing material but I DO want reassurance that my money is safe. Reviewed on: 27th January 2024

Easy application process & freindly app. May have invested more but limit of 1 active account at a time a limiting factor. Reviewed on: 27th January 2024

One year SmartSave fixed rate investment

I invested with SmartSave in Jan 2023. It was for a one year fixed rate. It matured in Jan this year and I was so pleased with my return that I decided to re-invest the whole amount, plus interest with SmartSave once again. Reviewed on: 27th January 2024
