I have been a customer of Shawbrook bank for a number of years now and they have proved to me to be a very trustworthy bank. I can't emphasise how good they are. Whatever the contraction they get it r... See more

Good communication. Quick reply online without having to phone & talk to a AI/bot! Always followed up with paperwork e.g. end of year tax/interest on all accounts. Thank you Pauline Trehane

I can't recommend Laurel Johnson highly…

I can't recommend Laurel Johnson highly enough. From start to finish, she went above and beyond to ensure my clients mortgage case reached completion. Her commitment, responsiveness, and willingness to do far more than was expected made a real difference throughout what could have been a stressful process.

Laurel was always available to provide updates, proactively chased outstanding issues, and worked tirelessly with all parties involved to keep everything moving. Her knowledge, professionalism, and determination to find solutions meant that every obstacle was dealt with quickly and efficiently.

It's rare to come across someone so dedicated to delivering outstanding service. Laurel's hard work, attention to detail, and genuine commitment to achieving the best outcome were exceptional. This case truly would not have got to completion on time without Laurel. Thank you!

Transfer out to linked account hasn't happened after 3 days

Transfer out to linked account hasn't happened after 3 days. Request made on a Saturday. Monday and still nothing. Very worrying. Customer services offer standard platitudes. Am trying to move out of Shawbrook due to poor interest rates. Existing customers beware you could probably do better elsewhere, they don't reward loyalty and blatantly favour new customers over existing.
Re Shawbrook response:- Nothing to discuss here Shawbrook. The issues I have raised are long standing and have been submitted by subscribers many times before. You choose not to do anything about them, so be it. I have nothing to add.
