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.

Very poor experience signing up for an account. Clunky, out-dated, unclear and confusing instructions and well below the standard of new banks.

Happy Customer

I have been with Aldermore for many years and have been totally satisfied. The staff are polite, helpful, efficient and more than happy to help, especially as I’m not very tech savvy. The website is easy to use and well set out.
An all round excellent experience.
