Second rate service

Aldermore's online banking has now been down for at least three days. There seem to be no updates and no way to contact because their customer service is closed. It's concerning that their systems can be down for this long. The response from the Bank suggest this is not an uncommon occurrence.

My experience is excellent

My experience is excellent. I find their savings and cash ISA rates very competitive and with the standard yearly fixed rate options, interim rates available, ie 15 months, enabling more flexibility.

I have been saving with them for over 4 years and no issues have arisen.

A senior underwriter confirmed to my…

A senior underwriter confirmed to my broker on 30 April that all requirements had been met and that the case would be progressed to offer.

This is the final of four cases, with the other three offers already issued.

Since that confirmation, despite repeated follow-ups and escalation through multiple channels, there has been no meaningful update.

The delay is now directly costing me money, as I remain on bridging finance unnecessarily.

As a professional property investor with a substantial portfolio, I understand that underwriting delays can happen. What is far harder to understand is the complete silence after confirmation that a case was progressing to offer.

I would welcome contact from Aldermore’s customer service team to urgently resolve this.

**EDIT 20/05/26**
A day later, follow-ups from my broker, a direct email to Aldermore’s mortgage advisers team, and even a LinkedIn message to Aldermore yesterday (despite LinkedIn displaying an average response time of within 1 hour), there has been no meaningful response.

Good rates and no stress depositing or withdrawing money.

Ive been a customer of Aldermore for several years. You can see that their rates are competitive by looking at any comparison site. What you can't see is how easy they are to deal with and how good their communication is.
