Been with CHIP for a few years and found the App very easy to use. Had to close the account as needed the funds and needed a final interest statement for tax. Forgot to download before I closed.

Emailed them an hour ago to get the statement and got a virual immediate reply with everything I needed. Amazing service. Thank you CHIP especially Usamah for fantastic service!

Wrong Information Given

I asked about a Chip bank transfer from the Leeds Building Society to my Trip ISA. The answer related to the Yorkshire bank. I asked again, told them it was the Leeds BS and got absolutely no answer. My ISA will now, unfortunately, be transferred to another bank. A phone call would have answered this immediately.

After this review I had a reply from Chip and I am happy to say they gave me better information. I have yet to try, but well done to Chip for apologising and restoring my faith in them!

Hi Lucy,

I am very sorry for the frustration and for the fact that we weren't able to provide the clarity you needed regarding your transfer from Leeds Building Society. It’s disappointing to hear that a breakdown in communication has led to you moving your ISA elsewhere, as we always aim to make these transitions seamless.

We understand that sometimes a quick conversation can resolve what text cannot. While we currently focus on digital support, we are actually looking to make big improvements to the chat journey this year to ensure our responses are more accurate and that "no answer" isn't an experience our users have. If you would give us one more chance to look into this for you, please reach out to hello@getchip.uk so we can investigate why your query was mishandled.

Poor customer service avoidable communication delays.

tried to transfer my Cash ISA from Chip to another provider. The transfer failed because of a simple address mismatch something that could have been easily communicated and fixed.
Instead of notifying me, Chip kept me in the dark. When I raised a complaint about this lack of communication, Julie from Chip refused to take any accountability and simply fobbed me off to the Financial Ombudsman Service and my new provider.
This caused unnecessary delay, stress, and inconvenience completely avoidable if Chip had informed me promptly. Their processes and customer care are seriously lacking. I would caution anyone considering Chip to be aware of their poor communication.

Hi AR,

We are sorry to hear about this experience. We understand how frustrating and stressful it must have been, especially when the issue was something that could have been resolved quickly with clearer communication.

While Cash ISA transfers involve multiple parties and checks, you are right to expect timely updates when something prevents a transfer from completing. We are sorry that this was not communicated clearly and that it led to unnecessary delays and inconvenience. That is not the standard we aim to provide.

Your feedback around communication and how this was handled has been noted and is important to us as we continue to improve our processes.

Company policy

The staff were good. However, they work within company guidelines. Polices are, as usual, far more complicated than necessary. I am still no wiser as to why my interest payments were shown as incorrect. The web site is unhelpful. There is no advice given regarding the best account. Everything encourages you to use the site. Human intervention is discouraged.

Hi David, I appreciate your honesty regarding the hurdles you've faced. While I'm glad our staff provided good service, it's clear the underlying process for interest transparency and account guidance didn't meet your expectations and your feedback has been passed along internally.

If you'd like a more detailed breakdown of your interest calculations, please do reach out in the app or via email at hello@getchip.uk; our team would be happy to explain the math behind your balance.

Polite and helpful

I have a tricky situation. I live with 2 different names, one being my maiden name and one being my ex married name. My current account was opened before I got divorced but all my legal documents to verify myself are in my maiden name - changed after my divorce. This made opening my new account tricky. The customer service team were helpful and speedy with processing all my info once I supplied everything needed, and they were always polite.

Chip provides excellent customer service

I always find that Chip is quick to respond to queries. I requested account statements showing my account number (as the statements in the app didn’t show this) and Chip provided them to me the same day.

Shel was so helpful

Shel was so helpful! I used chat to ask a question about withdrawal penalties, and Shel answered super clearly but also perfectly succintly. No need to go back and forth with more questions (which sometimes happens even with the most helpful customer service) - she covered all bases first time, even things I hadn't asked.

Hi There,

We are really sorry to read this and to hear about your experience. Dealing with probate is already challenging, and it is upsetting to know that our bereavement support did not meet the standard you deserved during such a difficult time.

We take concerns about knowledge, communication and respect very seriously, especially in sensitive situations like this. Your feedback has been noted and will be shared with the relevant teams so we can review how we support customers through bereavement and probate.

If you are open to it, please reach out to us via email so we can look into what happened and understand your experience in more detail.

Chip has been helpful & supportive

Chip has been helpful & supportive. They prevented a criminal trying to access my account after O2 ported my mobile number to a scammer!
They suspected fraud straight away & protected me from potential loss.
I am so thankful to them & can’t recommend them enough if you are considering an ISA or other investment soon. It’s an easy to navigate on line App, that has many layers of security.

Thanks so much for sharing this, we’re really glad to hear about your experience.

Protecting our customers is something we take extremely seriously, so it’s reassuring to know our security checks worked quickly and helped prevent any potential loss after such a worrying situation. We can imagine how stressful that must have been, and we’re really pleased we were able to step in and keep your account safe.

It’s also great to hear you’re enjoying the app and finding it easy to use. We work hard to balance simplicity with strong layers of security, so your feedback means a lot.

Thanks again for the recommendation and for trusting Chip.
