Like a lot of these 1 star reviews...
Like a lot of these 1 star reviews I have been very frustrated. I applied for an account in early November and after some 'holding' emails from Conister and some chasing by me I have received an email that offers to open the account - 7 weeks later. I have seen Conister's responses to these poor reviews, saying they will learn from the bad experiences people have reported, but who knows how long that will take. I will have to decide if I trust putting my money in their hands. Maybe it is just the opening process, but it is no way for a bank to introduce itself.

I tried to open a fixed term deposit
I tried to open a fixed term deposit of 3.95% on the 8th Dec 2025 and sent my deposit which has been confirmed as received by the bank.
I have sent numerous emails but as yet have not received an email or letter confirming my deposit.
I have also phoned and was informed that it was being dealt with. There was a problem that the application form was not correctly filled out which I rectified as soon as I received the email.
Whilst Christmas was between this period, this
should have been resolved after the phone calls I made.
The service I have received before this problem has been exceptionally good.
This is now nearly a month since this was started which is totally unacceptable.
