As I have only just opened my account I cannot comment on how well Castle Trust Bank performs. To date I have only used your on-line services, which are acceptable but average.

Competitive and efficient

Always found them competitive with fixed term ISA rates. Efficient and informative - majority of communication is via the website or app but they also respond to telephone calls.
