I was logged out of my online account twice, & waited for over a week for a security letter to be received. After telephoning, I was informed another letter had been triggered which would be sent the following week! What a shambles. Requested a telephone call from the Customer Relations Department, but nobody called or had the courtesy to reply to emails sent. Staff were unable to pass me to the correct department & were disinterested. After being unable to gain access to my money I will now be closing my account & transferring funds to a more professional bank. Avoid

Everything was fine at first but then a couple of times I couldn’t sign into my mobile app using the code I am certain was correct. I changed to face recognition which seemed ok until last weekend when that didn’t work either, took me ages to actually get into the mobile app to see my balance.

Hello Christine,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and I’m really sorry to hear about the trouble you’ve had signing into the mobile app. That’s certainly not the experience we want for you.
We completely understand how frustrating this must have been—especially when you felt you were entering the correct code. Accessing your balance should be quick and seamless every time, and we’re sorry this wasn’t your experience.
We’d really like to get this resolved for you. If you could get in touch with our support team, we can investigate what caused the login issues and help make sure it doesn’t happen again.
In the meantime, clearing the app cache or reinstalling the app often helps reset login features, but we’re happy to guide you through this if needed.
Kind regards,
Louise

Bond maturity options much less straightforward
I have been with Secure Trust for years but their Bond maturity procedure now seems much more onerous (with a a specific code only emailed 2 weeks before maturity, allowing you to access a separate webpage for "existing customers" to give instructions). New Bond rates available were low (my instant access account with another company pays more!) so I decided to have maturity proceeds paid into my nominated account. I was surprised to find that there was no automatic option to do this and that I was required to send them a secure message. I subsequently received an automated email saying that they would respond (presumably simply to acknowledge my instruction) in 3 days. My other banking institutions are definitely more user-friendly.

Hello Annie,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and for being a loyal Secure Trust customer over the years. We’re sorry to hear that your recent experience with the Bond maturity process felt more complicated and less user friendly than expected. Your comments highlight areas where we can improve, and we appreciate you bringing them to our attention.
We continuously review our processes to make sure they’re secure as well as customer friendly, and feedback like yours helps us identify where things can be made simpler. We’ll ensure your experience is shared with the relevant teams.

maturity email not recieved
I did not recieve my email giving me my maturity code and could not reinvest at the special rate.
9 February 2026
Reply from Secure Trust Bank PLC
Hello Gregory,
Thank you for getting in touch. I’m really sorry for any inconvenience this situation has caused. I’ve taken a thorough look at your account, and I can confirm that the maturity emails—including the reinvestment code - were sent to you on two separate occasions.
Unfortunately, the code has now expired, which means we’re no longer able to process a reinvestment at that rate. We understand this may be disappointing, and sorry for any frustration this has caused.
If you’d like to explore alternative options, all of our current products are available for reinvestment at today’s rates.
Please get in touch with us if there’s anything else we can do to support you or if you’d like some help choosing a new option.
Kind regards,
Louise
