Re : The Access Bank Uk .

I have recently opened a 3yr fixed term bond with The Access Bank UK Ltd . This Bank is regulated by FCA & PRA , and Protected by the UK FSCS . To these ends , i am happy with my investment . However , i can find very little financial information about them , as they do not appear on any MSE blog or in any Comparison Sites ! Can anyone explain why this is ?

Just because a bank isn't on the MSE blog or Comparison Sites doesn't make them dodgy.

I take it you double checked they are registered with the FSA ?

Well they are registered with the FSCS and they are registered with the FCA. Looks ok as a bank to me.

They are unlikely to feature prominently on here since their rates are drat and they have no other attractive offers.

There's an article here from This is Money about them. NB it's from last year, I haven't double-checked that the interest rate facts are still current.

Thanks for the responses . Yes .... I have checked this bank out . They are offering an interest rate of 2.7% over the 3 years . This is among the few top quoted rates on offer at present .... I can only find Al Rayan Bank and Fidor Bank , beating it by a very small margin , after searching the comparison sites . However i`m surprised that MSE has never featured them on the site , and i am unable to find a blog on this site ........ Perhaps one of the MSE staff could pass a comment !
