Website application a little unclear in places eg transfer ins. Also received numerous emails reminding to pay in funds when you already new it was a transfer in.

A little complicated to open (I thought) but deposits were easy (instantly acknowledged by bank). Time will tell if withdrawing is just as easy.

Incorrect rate quoted

Savings rate that was quoted on the screen when opening the account was higher than the rate that I was actually offered when I went to deposit funds. Spoke with their help desk who were less than useless. Complaint I made was adjudicated by the person on the call even before I made it!!!

Best rate and easy to open the account

Excellent in all quarters

The offer of a good rate for the ISA was a factor in subscribing and the on line application was easy to follow. The service was second to none. Well done.
