Uncomplicated, informative and clear options.
Close Brothers are competitive. Their communication is excellent every thing is explained clearly. When my ISA matured I was given advanced warning and had a good choice of options with clear information and instructions what to do next. Re-investing my ISA with Close Brothers was a straightforward experience and the best option for me.

Delay in returning funds
Update on my complaint
Whether it was my Trust Pilot complaint, or not, my maturity funds were in my account on the day of maturity. I also received a call from a concerned Close Brothers representative who explained that they prefer to under-promise and over-deliver. It still poses the question, why can't they promise to return the funds on the same day, just like my building society?
I telephoned Close Brothers Savings today to give maturity instructions for my fixed rate bond. I was told that the money could arrive in my bank up to TWO days AFTER the maturity date because Close Brothers Savings is not a bank and the funds would have to go through a clearing bank.
If this is so, why is it that my building society, which is also not a bank, can, and does, make same day transfers, provided the request is made before 3.00 pm on a weekday?

Close Bros is a very trustworthy company
Close Bros is a very good company and I have nothing but praise with how they have dealt with my money. Unfortunately I now need the money to pay for my sons operation because it keeps getting delayed due to the junior doctors strikes

secure and prompt attention from Close Brothers
Usually I have no need to contact anyone during the term of my investment. On this occasion, due to my own fault, I had to message the support team at Close Brothers. My query was answered and everything was sorted out very quickly to my satisfaction.
