Working with Kent Reliance has been brilliant but am now moving most of my money from the ease access account because you have reduced the interest rate - can get 4.5% elsewhere!

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

Trying to open a fixed rate bond…

Trying to open a fixed rate bond totally impossible . after 15 mins i have given up/ had bonds in the past no problem . BUT to say some nerd has completely ruined a working system its just beyond belief ??? why i am not the only one read the reviews / who ever they let loose on the online application MUST want to bankrupt them . Because they have sabotaged a perfect working system and put this unworkable load of junk in its place

Fixed ISA problem

Opened up a new fixed ISA where I expected (and they explicitly advertised that I could) to be able to drip in payments over the year as I have been for the last couple of years. Within a month they suddenly change the rules but still continue to advertise that you can on their website. Worst of all they won't answer my complaint. Instead they send cut and pasted replies about changes to software etc which have nothing to do with my query. I don't trust financial firms that change rules and, clearly, I'm not going to get a straight answer, therefore, I'll move my money as the ISAs mature.Shame because they used to be good and their rates competitive.

If it would go through with a "nil"

If it would go through with a "nil" - let alone a "minus" sum - I'd be able to rate them.
Here are my emails to them, today:
our letter dated 22nd April has just arrived, with the Final Response to my Complaint, dated 27th March (which was that, on 7th July last year, I set my password, and wrote it down; and, on 19th March this year, when you wouldn't accept, I spent a long time on the 'phone with you, re-setting it - and writing it down again; but on 27th March, you wouldn't accept that one either).

Do you understand my Complaint ? My being locked out wasn't owing to - what you are pleased to call - "invalid credentials": there was (is?) something wrong at your end.

Fortunately I can be shot of you entirely, next month. I would expect my £10,00 plus accrued interest to be paid into my nominated account

As you know, the FOS take ages - and I expect that you are cynically exploiting that fact.

And:
PS: I've changed my password (I've just found how to do this - no thanks to you); but, now, it won't accept my secret word - which, again, I wrote down on 7th July last year (and, in any case, was simple for me to remember).

Long winded process of reinvesting matured funds.

I am always happy with my dealings with Kent Reliance. The only reason I did not give the full 5 stars was the fact I could not automatically reinvest my matured funds into another bond that was not already included in the matured options. Instead I had to cash in my maturity sum and then go through the process of opening a new bond. This seems an unnecessary long winded procedure.

Thank you for your feedback Colin — we genuinely appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. It’s great to hear that you’re happy with your dealings with Kent Reliance, and we completely understand why the reinvestment process felt longer than expected in this instance.

All customers will have the option to reinvest their entire funds by selecting their preferred maturity instructions 14 days before the account matures. This window is designed to give you full control over what happens next with your savings. By choosing your instructions in advance, you can seamlessly move your maturing balance into any of the products available at that time, without needing to withdraw the funds or complete a new application. It’s a way of ensuring the process is as smooth and efficient as possible, while still giving you access to the latest rates and account options.
