Certain aspects of the website are a little clunky and look a bit dated but overall everything works well and transactions are quick. Responsive communication via text and email is also good.

Good rates but could do with an App and for your savings accounts and ISA accounts to be linked for transfers etc. Have to have 2 seperate log in details, seems unnecessary

ONLY JUST OPENED ACCOUNT

I will have to wait and see before I can leave a review, depositing £7000 was fairly easy, I'll wait and see how it goes from here on.

I have a number of bonds invested and all of them excepted my first choice nominated account, but you did not! This meant I had to use my second choice nominated account which is an inconvenience. The reason you did not accept Handlesbanken was simply because they do not show on statements their sort code. This is because it is the same sort code for all UK based branches of that bank. You would not even accept a letter from them confirming this. This is poor and the reason I give you only 3 stars. I don't suppose you will reply to this negative feedback!

Reply from Kent Reliance

Thank you for your feedback Bob. We appreciate your frustration and apologise for the inconvenience caused. Our requirement for bank statements to display both the sort code and account number is in place for security and verification purposes, as our system relies on these details to validate nominated accounts. These measures help us protect our customers and ensure payments are made securely. We value your comments and will take them into consideration as we continue to review our processes.

Excellent member of staff

I spoke with a gentleman with an Indian accent this morning. He was very courteous and helpful and solved the problem splendidly.
