Have just transferred an ISA from another provider

Just transferred an ISA from another provider. Other provider who I've been with for several years seemed to be a quite complicated process to restore an account. I was impressed with Aldemore's online information, their current rates and thought I'd see if the process to Transfer would actually be easier than trying to unravel the issues with my current provider. I wanted a fast resolution as I had other matters I needed to move on to.
Aldermore's transfer application was super easy and logical with communication from Aldermore clear and fast. They then advised they would contact my previous ISA company to arrange the Transfer. Given that I'd found the previous supplier a bit bureaucratic, I thought good luck! But was delighted to receive notification from Aldermore, less than 36 hours later that my funds were now with them.
Very happy with Aldermore's ISA application and set-up process.

The gentleman we spoke to was…

The gentleman we spoke to was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. It felt like going back in time where customer service was paramount and important. The phone call was picked up by a person who cared genuinely. I if only all banks were all like this.

Don’t bother if your an oap

Don’t bother if your an oap

Tried to open a savings account for my 98 year old mother living in a care home who has her house sale proceeds to invest to pay her care home fees. What a nightmare organisation.
Got an email seeking proof of identification, she has no passport or driving licence so produced a letter from DWP showing she is on state pension and attendance allowance, copy of local authority community tax for her old home, invoice for her care home fees from County Council and proof I had successfully opened a similar account with the Coventry Building Society in the last two weeks.
Apparently this is not sufficient customer service woman was a robot her only response I can’t talk about it.
I want to put money in not take it out but perhaps she is a security risk clearly this bank thinks when you get to a certain age you become a Martian because you haven’t got a passport or driving licence.
So much for respecting senior citizens!!!

Seen the standard response provided word for word what all one star reviews get don’t bother your robot has already told me she can’t discuss it. That’s ok mums money goes to a human bank plenty more on offer

Don't bother using Aldermore as you may…

Don't bother using Aldermore as you may end up killing yourself as that's where I am now. I'm nearly homeless because they keep going back and forth just to reissue a mortgage offer. We sent documents 24th June but still no response. I have handed my notice because this was just a reissue of the offer and we didn't expect it to take this long. Now I don't even know what they want as the solicitors have approved source of funds and everything. I don't know what will happen with me and kids as the landlord has advertised the property. Just avoid them for your sanity.

Great online savings experience

I have been with Aldermore for five plus years now, very competitive savings rates and great customer support, other reviews claim them to be clunky, where I experienced this I put down to their very efficient and stringent anti-fraud measures, so I would rather them be clunky than be a victim of fraud. A great experience so far.
