OK, but need IT improvement

The people are great, albeit in their own silos, but the IT system is woeful.

I had been having difficulties logging in to my Brewin account on line,
A call to Brewins answered quickly by a very patient service advisor who talked me through setting up my access details and resolved my problems.
Having had accounts personally and for a family trust over more than 15 years
I can’t speak highly enough about Brewins and their team.

My call was answered straight away by a very helpful customer advisor called Simon who dealt with my query with patience and professionalism. It's good to know some companies still value the personal touch .

Not Impressed…

Firstly I am told that they don’t want me as a client anymore, as my investment is now too small.Then they fail to return the last few pounds of my investment

I had been a client for quite a few years
