Applying For A New ISA

Despite being a Saver for many years, I could not, online, choose and apply for a 2003/4 new ISA. When on my account and selecting new ISA, it would only offer me one option ???. However, called the help line and delighted with immediate reply and help with advice to resolve. Many Thanks, you have a continued delighted Customer. Reviewed on: 22nd May 2023

Good service

Easy to open a new savings account online. Received the good standard of customer service that you would expect from a small mutual society. My only criticism would be the delay between opening online and awaiting for the i.d. checks to be completed before depositing. I understand the requirement for checks but there could have been better communication here to give clarity of when the initial deposit could be made. Reviewed on: 12th May 2023

Good Company, website could be better

Great company and great customer service. The only thing I would say is that the website is not very mobile friendly. I used the website on my phone and alot of the operations/buttons and messaging service I could not view. Reviewed on: 4th May 2023
