It is a very easy platform to use. I have on occasion had to contact customer services, I have found them very helpful. I think I have been using Raisin for around 2 years now, but have invested with other simular platforms in the past, Raisin in my opinion is the most user friendly, and would recommend it to friends and family.

I have had a number of Fixed term accounts and Easy access accounts with Raisin for years.
I recently closed one Easy access account and withdrew £3500.00 from another Easy access account and also had a 3 year fixed term account mature, all around the same date. However, the amount of cash available for me to withdraw was short £1802.47
I have emailed several times and had no response in more than a week
I have tried phoning several times, but have been on hold forever
The app has no option for sending secure messages, only a general "help" email address that hasn't been replied to, despite several emails from me.
**************************
The reply I eventually received from Raisin does explain the discrepancy regarding my query about £1802.47 and the misunderstanding was mine
The payments are accurate

Been trying to change my Nominated Bank Account (required to withdraw funds) for the past week. Three attempts to change online have been futile -- their website will not recognise the sort code, despite this belonging to one of the big 4 UK banks. Therefore been communicating via secure message and phone calls, to get the necessary change implemented. Secure messages are generally ignored. Information provided in phone calls has been wrong. Problem has been passed from one department to another. Raisin now insists that the change cannot be made until I provide a copy of a bank statement (for a new bank account that has only been open for a day or two??) when I already provided a copy of a letter containing all the information Raisin required; besides, my bank statement is none of Raisin's business. Shocking level of customer service. I've been a customer for many years with a mixture of fixed term bonds and easy access savings. At the earliest opportunity, I'll be withdrawing every penny and saving with a different provider as Raisin has totally lost my trust.

Raisin my expectations
I was originally causes of on line only banking platforms, I’m more use to high street banks.
But I must admit the process from start to finish is easy, fully informed all the way through.

After an understandably long wait on the phone the gentleman to whom I spoke was most helpful, patient and guided me through how to close an account then transfer the money to my bank account. He was very clear in his instructions and spoke very clearly. A very professional process. Thank you.

Really useful savings platform with an excellent range of options from different banks for easy access or fixed term savings bonds and accounts, straight forward and easy to use.

Reply from Raisin UK
Watch them! Raisin is not a bank ,they hold your money until you decide where you want to get the best interest,and when you want to withdraw your funds,you have to chase them on the phone as their website is not very clear on how you get your money back to your own nominated account.Fortunately one of their staff was very helpful.Unfortunately I lost two days interest. Scam?

Ashley was very friendly and human too. Able to resolve my questions completely. Only downside was the time waiting for the call to be answered. Promised 5 minutes took 12.

After the frustrations of trying to make online alterations it was most refreshing to speak with Ashley who organised everything for us

Found the system quite clunky and some things are quite tedious to do. For example if you want to switch banks you have extract the money, and you can’t take it all out unless you force a close on the account, then await, then you have to post it to the new account. It’s also difficult to find transaction reports and there are large number of communications that you get which are not always that useful.

Good telephone advice and guidance, with a pretty seamless reinvestment onto an alternative product..

They provide a simple and easy to use platform but fail miserably when you need to speak with them. Have used their messaging service within the app and no reply received. Be warned they are extremely slow to return funds on a cancelled product (done during 14 day cool off).

Raisin UK is a trading name of Raisin Platforms Limited which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRNs 813894 and 978619)
A Firm Reference Number (FRN) is a unique six or seven-digit identifier assigned by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to authorized financial services firms in the UK. It serves as an official identifier on the "Financial Services Register" to prove a firm is authorised to conduct regulated business.
THE two FRNs numbers from the Raisin UK website have QUESTION MARKS. (FRNs 813894 and 978619)
FRNs 813894 NOTHING COMES UP
FRNs 978619 IS NOT PROTECTED.
go to the fscs.org.uk website and check to see if your money is protected.
Trustpilot reviews prevents anyone from entering a full URL/link for the fscs website
ONLY ClearBank Limited (FRN:754568) IS PROTECTED. But this Firm Reference Number FRN:754568 is NOT on the Raisin UK website. ONLY (FRNs 813894 and 978619) are.
All this raises BIG RED FLAGS. A company like Raisin UK should not have these issues/ flags when they need to earn customer trust!!!

Once I got used to the proceedures, I enjoyed the stay...will probably return (some funds) at some point ...currently chasing those fractions of a % - that be elsewhere ATM. Customer service has always been spot on for me, that`s reassuring.
