I’m having difficulty accessing my money when I want to drawdown funds. It used to be very straightforward but in the last year it has become very frustrating. I think they changed their system and it really doesn’t work and is hard to find your way through. On the phone they are charming and helpful but I have previously probably spent hours trying to find the way around the website. Often I have to shut it down without being able to log off because there is a message in the way. That doesn’t make me feel confident about security.

Patient and helpful administrator

The administrator in Customer Services was extremely patient and helpful after we had an issue (of our own making) after we had set up two small accounts.
A very reassuring introduction to AJ Bell.
