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 ar... See more

Be VERY careful with Shawbrook

Be VERY careful with Shawbrook. They think it is acceptable to offer better interest rates to attract new customers whilst paying long standing customers far less for an identical product - sharp practice!
In the insurance industry, the law was changed so that existing customers would not be charged more than they would as a new customer. That is clearly needed in banking.
Shawbrook do not reward loyalty, they treat customers as a cow to be milked - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED - KEEP AN EYE ON THEIR RATES

I moved my ISA's to another provider

I moved my ISA's to another provider, the communication between them was a little slow. I had to chase them.

Interest rate on the Easy Access…

Interest rate on the Easy Access Account is not as high as other banks.

Absolute joke

Absolute joke! Literally made homeless, on anti depressants, desperately needed some of MY savings back due to major financial issues! Provided everything needed over and over again during a three week spell of unbearable anxiety and depression! To be met with a sarcastic email from "Ellie savings team leader" talking down to me! I'm not seeking a loan? Just my own money! I cannot claim IVA or bankruptcy ( which I do not want to do!) due to these savings! Only care about their own profit!
