Existing customer review Aldermore Bank

As an existing customer for several years Aldermore often have competitive interest rates along with ease of opening an account via online banking. Terms and Conditions are easy to understand and can be downloaded prior to opening an account so you can read them before committing. Secure email message via the account is quick and simple. ISA electronic transfer instructions are clear an simple to follow. When I have needed to phone Aldermore the staff have always been helpful and friendly providing good customer service. All-in-all a positive experience.

Transferring ISA

I saw the very good reviews on trustpilot so my wife decided to open a ISA and transfer my previous years ISAs to the new Aldermore ISA. I opened an ISA account with Leeds BS.

We found however, they have a very short funding windows of just 14 days. Its almost impossible to transfer ISAs within this time frame. It should be noted Leeds building society gives you 5 weeks to add money to an ISA.

Anyway the rate was good so we decided to open an account and start the transfer process. But we have found things are done rather manually, ie you have fill in forms and post them to Aldermore. This is rather old fashioned and prone to delays. As it has turned out, we sent forms back got letters back about incorrect forms etc etc.

The staff answer calls quickly but are a bit robotic about specific answers to questions. Also sending email through the online account is comletely hit and miss with answers. Some replies just don't answer your question, just vague replies.

So, overall opening account was easy, adding money is slightly complicated, and transferring from other ISAs is very extremely difficult.

After 2 weeks of the account opening we are still no further with a comfirmation about a cach ISA transfer, no further with a stocks and shares ISA transfer and the 14 day funding windows is almost closed!!!. For this reason we have to give this review a 1 star.

I should say the process with Leeds building society was lot easier and sucessful.

Appalling customer care and service

I am trying to help my daughter sort out her mortgage I have never dealt with a more obstructive company! Despite filling out the forms requested they are still making it as difficult as possible for me to help her. Even a lump sum ontribution took weeks to be reflected in her account which is not available online. What banks do not allow you to view your account online in this day and age?!
Just spent another 2 hours on the phone (mostly in the Queue)! Got nowhere but told it would be escalated!

Transfering existing funds to a new account was exceptional.

As one of my existing Aldermore Isa was maturing, I had a few queries to get answers on it I used the telephone contact process. The staff member who spoke to me very quickly was able to deal with all these queries and also was able to talk me through how to fill in all the online forms to enable me to transfer my funds to another Aldermore new account. In my view the customer service at Aldermore was exceptional.
