Good communication. Quick reply online without having to phone & talk to a AI/bot! Always followed up with paperwork e.g. end of year tax/interest on all accounts. Thank you Pauline Trehane

Great site and service

Like very much your site and service. However, rates on offer are not as competitive as they have been.

I have banked with Shawbrook for a number of years and find it to provide a good choice of competetive accounts. In 10 years, I have found help, assurance and good rates of interest. Communications are good and I would happily recommend its services to others.

Up to 3 days for withdrawals!

The reply here is laughable – doesn’t even make reference to the key complaint being the speed of transfer.
This bank is ok - used to offer pretty good savings rates but not any more on the instant access accounts but the most irritating thing is to withdraw cash to your linked account has a 2-3 day delay depending on the day of the week you do it. In 2026 that’s simply not good enough.
All that said, when I have spoken to them, they’ve been amazing to deal with - otherwise this would be an easy 1-2 out of 5.

Shawbrook Bank is NOT part of the Faster Payment
scheme so if you transfer / deposit funds at the wrong time eg the weekend or just before then you stand to lose a lot of interest if the amount you are transferring is substantial. Shawbrook- make it clear in bold wording on your savings home page!!! But that wouldn't be in your interest to do would it?

Easy to use and generally good communication. Received request to review, however, prior to policy anniversary which seemed a little strange.
