Easy to open account but not so easy to manage account.
Opening an ISA account was easy and straightforward and offered a good rate of interest. However from there on the online ISA account is a little cumbersome and doesn’t have much useful information other than enabling confirmation that your funds are still there. Not wholly put at ease that money is safe.

Had to chase
After submitting my application, I had to contact them as the account wasn't opened. It transpired they had lost/misplaced my application and therefore nothing would have happened if I'd not chased them. Apart from that the opening was fine.

I’m very pleased with my UBL ISA
I’m very pleased with my UBL ISA. Opening it was 90% straightforward but (of course) I had a few questions about process. While these were answered promptly I had a sense the responses were somewhat perfunctory (as in “close it quick and move on”). I don’t mind this but it tends to form a transactional relationship rather than the “valued customer” feeling.

UBL Account Opening Experience
Opening a UBL cash isa was more difficult than it should be after several attempts & discussions with UBL I decided to try my laptop rather than my iPad and this worked!
So on balance had I used my laptop from the off, it would have been simple enough, however, at no point did UBl state that there were issues using an iPad!

The process of opening an account via the website was reasonably easy and straightforward for an old fool like me and any difficulties I encountered were if no own making.
