Aldermore - A Customer Friendly Bank

I have had an account with Aldermore for a few years and have had absolutely no trouble with the accounts. This year I wished to transfer my funds into a new Cash ISA, but I made a mistake on the online form, which I did not spot, so the transaction did not progress. I contacted Customer Services via email (not a web chat form, thank heavens) and quickly received a 'phone call from a very pleasant lady who actually talked me through my mistake. Most institutions don't even give a contact email, never mind a personal call.
The website is good and informative, and the application process is simple and easy to follow, my error was a silly one.

Sharp deterioration since last year

Sharp deterioration since last year. They appear to have replaced staff with AI for correspondence, which does not address customers' concerns accurately. If a response from a staff member is received, it is poorly expressed, like this one, reproduced exactly: We accept are apologises if you are having problems regarding your online account
I've made a formal complaint and will be moving my money!

Transferring of my ISA was effortless

Transferring of my ISA was effortless. Good competitive interest rates on products. The website and application process was very clear and easy to complete.

Very efficient processing of transfers and the rapid response from customer service is outstanding. Larger organisations take days to respond then rarely answer the question asked! I had responses to queries within a few hours with clear answers.
