Needed to renew a fixed term deposit but only wanted to use half of the existing FTD. I found the process confusing but was talked through it by a helpful member of the team who was very patient when I made mistakes

Good Interest Rates

The interest rates were good and the website was easy to navigate. I had no reason to contact customer services, so I'm unable to comment, although I've heard only good reviews.

New Account Opened

Open a 1 yr Bank Bond which was simple enough. Postal authenticated receipt received and updated, no issues there. Email and texts received when deposits, via bank transfer, have been placed. Competitive fixed rate brought me here and so far, so good, extremely happy.

First impressions good

RCI Bank was recommended to me by my partner who has always been very satisfied with his account. It's early days for me but so far so good.

Oh my goodness what a rubbish bank!

Oh my goodness what a rubbish bank!
Please note everyone - close your accounts down and empty them. Take your money elsewhere, every other bank works more SIMPLY than RCI does. Changing your nominated bank SHOULD be possible via the app or web site. No PAPER FORMS needed or copies of statements or utility bills - UTTER and prohibitive NONSENSE.

Resetting a password is not always simple but with Ian's help it was a seamless experience.
What a pleasure to get to a UK based individual who was so genuinely knowledgeable and helpful!

Excellent customer service!

;I had to ring because I was having trouble accessing my account. I spoke to Steven (Stephen?) who was excellent. He patiently talked me through the process without losing his cool once! Explained everything and made sure I understood and was able to log in myself. Thank you so much Steven. You're a star! Also, it was quick and easy to speak to a real person! Well done all.

Excellent bank.

I have been a saver with RCI for several years.
I now have several fixed rate accounts,quite small sums,but growing nicely.
My Freedom saver keeps my emergency money avaliable at quite a good rate.
For me,good communication & an easy to use website are important ,& RCI excel with both.
Thank you RCI.Recommended.

Happy customer

So far, as an 80 year old not great with online banking, I've had no problems. The interest rate seems quite competitive and access fairly simple. Speaking to an advisor I had to do once or twice initially was pretty quick, unlike the NS&I (where its impossible!)

Always very good interest rates

Always very good interest rates. Good Bank to be with, no problems at all but if you fix for a time, it’s fixed, if you want access any time pick another account. I can recommend RCI Bank, I’ve been with RCI for a few years now 👍.
