Messiah was very helpful in helping me set up a new savings account to receive my existing FXD Bond that matures 17th August. He was patient and stayed with me on the phone whilst I opened the account and then took instructions from me verbally to switch the maturing funds over on the day of maturity without to have another conversation. He was courteous, and professional in his approach and I was very pleased with the service he provided. Reviewed on: 4th August 2026

Log On problems

I logged in and as it took some time for the passcode to come through to my mobile, it had expired. I tried again and same thing happenend until I was locked out of my account. A quick phone call, hardly any wait time, with Alfie and it was all sorted. He was very patient when I couldn't provide the account details and misquoted my national insurance number. A five out of five! Reviewed on: 29th July 2026
