Best rate and easy to open the account

For a 5 year savings bond, HTB offered the best rate I could find. It took less than 10 minutes to open the account and all information and communications was clear and provided quickly.

Excellent in all quarters

The offer of a good rate for the ISA was a factor in subscribing and the on line application was easy to follow. The service was second to none. Well done.

Not held on telephone for long and opening a business account was straightforward and fairly quick. Only criticism is adding a signatory requires all signatures and cannot be completed remotely, given one signatory is currently abroad.

Relatively easy to open online

Relatively easy to open online, some wording a bit confusing.
Automatic emails requesting funding of account were irritating when it was a ISA transfer.
