Easy and straightforward to use

I have just taken out a new savings product with Chetwood. The account opening and communication is easy and straightforward to follow. I chose Chetwood as the savings rates are very competitive and this will be my 2nd time using them.

Really poor dealing with the Bereavement Team. Takes ages, dont respond to requests, poor service at a difficult time as it is. "No Nonsense Banking" - really? I beg to differ. I will be closing my accounts and going elsewhere when the fixed rates end.

Customer Service review.

My experience with Chetwood Bank and the issues I was having trouble to sort out were very satisfactorily resolved by Callum this morning. The service he provided and the patience he was willing to impart was above what I was hoping for.
More than willing to recommend Chetwood Bank for their exemplary customer service. Well done and thank you.

Honest, professional, compassionate.

This company is professional but at the some time compassionate. I am not going to say how they helped me, but if this review had 10 stars I would tick them all!
Thank you to Karen and to the whole Chetwood team. I will definitely carry on banking with you.

Karen was very helpful in enabling me to log back into my account, guiding me through the process and checking that I had managed. She also prompted me to ask her the question that had made me try to log on in the first place.

Highly recommended.

I was prompted to use this highly recommended and reputable bank after looking it up on the Martin Lewis website of Money Supermarket.

The competitive interest rate was a done deal for me, to open the account was so easy and faultless, the customer service level of support is superior and their knowledge and expertise is so astute and perspicacious.

To transfer money out I have never encountered any issues and it’s moved within a day or two.
