Today I spoke with Charlotte who is an asset to SmartSave. Her telephone manner was exceptional. She was very understanding, made me feel at ease & listened to my query. After our conversation for the first time I felt like at weight had been lifted off my shoulders. What a wonderful person & I wish her well in her career.

I found the experience of opening a fixed rate savings account secure, efficient and speedy. It was always easy to check the status of my savings and I received relevant information by email at the appropriate times in the process. At the end of the fixed term, all the options were made clear and easy.

SmartSave offered the best rate at the time. Obviously you need to shop around as rates change frequently. The process of saving with them (for a year-fixed rate) went smoothly.

Generally happy with smartsave. Have just reinvested for 2nd time. Was given plenty of notice that fixed term was ending and told my options. 1 star lost as most banks let you change maturity options up to the day before and as smartsave only permits 1 account - why?

I invested for one year. It is an easy way to get a good return.
I certainly recommend smart save.

Delivered everything they promised and kept me updated with important dates. I couldn’t ask for more and would highly recommend them to any future investors.

It was all perfect, I used their fixed rate savings account for two years in a row with great interest rates and overall good customer experience, comms, and so on. Would go back in the future.

Offered a service that I was looking g for at the time and easy to set up

Reply from SmartSave
All easy to use online. I invested for 2 years, I received an email reminding me the date my account would finish, which I was aware of. I would have reinvested for a 3rd year, but 4 days before finishing I tried to do this but received another email that it was too late. It would have been helpful to have provided a deadline date on the previous email, but otherwise all went well.

No problems opening a savings account. At maturity I got a couple of emails instructing me to make a choice which was straightforward, and the money was transferred a few days later. Simple.
