Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Highly recommend

After not being eligible for half a dozen ISAs and going round in circles with another 3-4, I came across this Company on MSE. Not the top interest rate, but still very good for the fixed term ISA, I decided to go with them. Compared with the other Companies I'd encountered over the past few days, they were a breath of fresh air. Easy to set up and just as easy to transfer money in, with the money showing on the account in 5 minutes, on a Saturday too. Excellent coms after each stage.

Great website

Great website, easy to open and manage accounts. Decent interest rates. I had a problem recently when I made a deposit into my 90 day notice account instead of my newly opened isa. This was sorted for me very quickly. 100% recommend!

Opening an Account

Key difficultly

Fraud Departments of banks don’t like you sending the minimum £5k to open account in first instance and sending an initial £10 is bounced, followed by the balancing £4990.

Irritatingly still have not accommodated joint accounts.

Missing basic functionality

Opening the online Flexi Saver account was easy but realising you can’t change where your interest gets paid is irritating and making me want to close the account. It just doesn’t make any sense to me.

Also I cannot believe it’s all on the browser with no app. In this day and age.
