Great bank to deal with. Rates are competitive, systems are efficient and customer service really great. It's nice not to have to go through dozens of AI questions which lead to frustration. Messaging works fine but Aldermore Customer Service answer the phone quickly and are most friendly and helpful. I have had recent experience of app-based providers but found their systems painful in comparison to Aldermore. Highly recommend Aldermore, especially for ISAS.

I’ve only just opened an account

I’ve only just opened an account and it’s not yet completed , but I have used the bank in the past and found them very good to deal with, the only reason for my score is because it’s to soon to make comments when your account is not yet complete, waiting for a ISA to mature to transfer.

absolutely archaic processes that require 7 days of snail mail to do anything, website feels like it was made by a student ten years ago. Not a modern banking experience.

An excellent banking experience

I have banked with several better known financial companies and opened an account with Aldermore several years ago. They offer very competitive rates and I have found them a plasure to deal with. I have now transferred several more accounts to Aldermore as they mature simply because I think they are better.

If you want to talk to someone don't hold your breath

If you want to talk to someone don't hold your breath! I've been sat here waiting to talk to someone in Customer Service for for 26 minutes and I'm the first person in the queue! I spoke to them two week ago and was caller number 18 and waited over an hour. So frustrating..... I just don't understand how people can call this good customer service.
