Customers deeply appreciate the consistently competitive interest rates and the very smooth, stress-free process of managing their personal savings online. People also mention that the customer support staff is polite, professional, and quick to respond whenever direct phone assistance is needed.

ISA renewal time

Just renewed my Fixed ISA term. Easy to select from the clear options available - job done. Not the top % rate on the market, but very close to it, I prefer competitive and trusted to chancing it.

Hi Anneke, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for saving with Shawbrook.

0.1% p.a. ISA holding account

Over one week before the maturity date of my 1-year fixed-rate ISA, I instructed Shawbrook to transfer the funds to another provider on the maturity date.

Two days after maturity, I was notified that they had received my request and would now start the transfer process, which they said could take up to 15 working days and that in the meantime, my matured funds would be held in an account paying 0.1% p.a.

This effectively reduces the advertised 4.3% p.a. return to around 4.13% if the full transfer period is taken.

I will refer to the Financial Ombudsman Service if it is not resolved and will be very aware in future when considering Shawbrook products.

Thank you for providing your complaint reference number, Daniel. A final response has been issued to you. We can confirm the transfer was processed in line with HMRC ISA transfer guidelines and our standard procedures. If you're dissatisfied with our response, you have the right to refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service for an independent review. We hope this helps clarify the position and reassures you that we followed the relevant guidelines and procedures throughout.

Genuine and contactable

Overall a good experience, also available on the phone if needed.
Slightly confused or unsure of the process online but given my age, lack of regular online useage and general Mr Grumpy when things arn't instant, this all went rather smoothly.

Website easy to use and clear

Website easy to use and clear. Had a great competitive interest rate when I first opened account, Not so good now. I do always look around for best rates when ISA matures and have been tempted to move.
