Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 2,458 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company.

Many appreciate the competitive interest rates offered and the reliable, smooth operation of their financial interests. People frequently highlight the helpful and respectful customer service, noting quick responses and a positive approach from staff. However, some customers were not happy with the company's approach to loyalty, mentioning that better interest rates are often reserved for new clients, leading to a feeling of being undervalued as existing customers.

Good communication. Quick reply online without having to phone & talk to a AI/bot! Always followed up with paperwork e.g. end of year tax/interest on all accounts. Thank you Pauline Trehane

Having dealt with you for many years and having no complaints as the web site is easy to navigate and customer service has always been good . An app would be helpful though.

I can't recommend Laurel Johnson highly…

I can't recommend Laurel Johnson highly enough. From start to finish, she went above and beyond to ensure my clients mortgage case reached completion. Her commitment, responsiveness, and willingness to do far more than was expected made a real difference throughout what could have been a stressful process.

Laurel was always available to provide updates, proactively chased outstanding issues, and worked tirelessly with all parties involved to keep everything moving. Her knowledge, professionalism, and determination to find solutions meant that every obstacle was dealt with quickly and efficiently.

It's rare to come across someone so dedicated to delivering outstanding service. Laurel's hard work, attention to detail, and genuine commitment to achieving the best outcome were exceptional. This case truly would not have got to completion on time without Laurel. Thank you!

Transfer out to linked account hasn't happened after 3 days

Transfer out to linked account hasn't happened after 3 days. Request made on a Saturday. Monday and still nothing. Very worrying. Customer services offer standard platitudes. Am trying to move out of Shawbrook due to poor interest rates. Existing customers beware you could probably do better elsewhere, they don't reward loyalty and blatantly favour new customers over existing.
Re Shawbrook response:- Nothing to discuss here Shawbrook. The issues I have raised are long standing and have been submitted by subscribers many times before. You choose not to do anything about them, so be it. I have nothing to add.

Investment tracking

Very good customer service and it’s nice to be able to speak to a knowledgeable person rather than a machine.

Ho ever one disadvantage no App therefore I am unable to track how well my investment is performing.

Always offering competitive interest…

Always offering competitive interest rates and in my case being elderly I like to receive my interest from ISAs on a monthly basis.
Shawbrook offers this and my interest is always sent to my account on time
