Avoid Allience & Leicester eSaver account

pepsimaxflyboy

I applied to open an eSaver account with Allience & Leicester back in March and just can't get them to process the application. I've spent a long time on the phone to their helpdesk (not a freephone service), and they won't even put you through to the relevant dept (as they are too busy processing applications), suggesting that I make a fresh application, well that'll speed things up if we all do that. I could go on but don't wish to bore you, just don't use them, they are inefficient and unprofessional - not a firm that you'd be best advised to invest your money with!

Sorry to hear of your problems, all I can say is my account was opened with no fuss or bother, very fast and in a very fast professional manner.

Looks like being in the middle of the savings boom as there are a lot of negative feedback about several banks not just A&L.

I'd like to second that, been happily using my account for several months now.

The problem is, if we didn't use banks which people complained about, we wouldn't use banks at all!
