Shawbrook 1yr bond.

housebuyer143

Anyone have experience with Shawbrook? Are they alright to take out this bond with or is Kent reliance better? 
Both have a very similar one year fixed bond.

I had a 6 month bond with Shawbrook last year 

first time I’ve ever opened a fixed bond with one of these online bank companies so was a bit nervy

but had no problems at all - and my money plus interest was back in my nominated account on the date they promised

It's impossible for anyone to say objectively - some will like each and some will hate them, so anecdotal experiences really aren't particularly useful, as seen here:

Both are mentioned often though, so use the search facility to read through previous threads about them....

Have 6 a/c’s with them , no issues so far. Website can be a little slow sometimes and you can easily log yourself out but great otherwise. On maturity it takes another day to receive money in bank . Customer service I found good.

2 fixed and one easy access with Shawbrook.
They are quite good. Avoid Kent Reliance if possible.

I've previously had accounts with them, tried to open an ISA a couple of days ago, got some message about identity checking and have heard nothing since.

Opened a 2 year ISA today. Very easy. Phone answered by person in less than 30 seconds when I had a query

I’ve had several accounts, haven’t encountered any issues.  Then I’ve also had accounts with Kent Reliance and no problems with them either

Applied and for some reason the application has been referred 🙄🙄 why isn't anything straightforward

How long does it normally take for the payment to show?

How long do payments normally take to show up in your account Shawbrooks end?
