One star is one too many

I have to give them one star it is the minimum, one more than they should get. Do not return phone calls on seven occaisions, hide behind and blame Head Office with no reason given. A bank to be avoided.

Outstanding

My wife and I have used RCI bank for a number of years during which time we have enjoyed the benefit of competitive savings rates.
On the occasions we have needed to contact them we have found their staff to be exceptionally courteous, helpful and knowledgeable.
The RCI web site makes on line banking refreshingly simple and straight forward.
A pleasure to deal with and have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

Excellent service

Excellent service, and calls answered quickly by friendly knowledgeable employees . The Freedom Savings account pays worthwhile interest and has easy access. Fixed term savings accounts usually offer some of the highest interest available.

Opening a savings account and transferring funds into it

The process of opening a savings and an ISA account was very efficient and straightforward. The only problem I had related to transferring the funds from my nominated account to the savings and ISA account in chunks of £2000! My nominated account only allows transfers of £2000 at a time. It would have been useful to have been able to make an electronic transfer for the entire amount from my nominated account to the ICI savings account.
