“Great online saving system for my baby. I like the ease of setting it up and that family can add money into her account when they want. I got recommended to join from one of my friends and have seen it advertised online. I feel happy i have set up a savings account for my baby with Shepherds friendly and that she can access her money when she turns 18.”

“I am a believer in the mutual principle and was attracted by a competitive interest rate for a long term bond and pleased with the straightforward documentation required to open an account. The response from the friendly society was prompt which augers well but found the questioning about the Society's performance irritating; my opinion of the Society will take loonger to form.”

Helpful Report

“Setting-up a Savings Bond on-line was quick and easy as was the transfer of funds. A very slight hiccup to this process was experienced as regards the precise details of one of the forms identity required before an account could be opened, but this was quickly resolved by staff via E-Mail. Otherwise, all plain sailing. There is just one niggling minor point regarding E-mail letter correspondence . . . the mail-merge programme used picks up both my Christain name and middle name in the composition of the opening greeting i.e. Dear + . The usual convention in the UK being to use only the person's Christain name or the surname or both together . . never the middle name. I have seen this issue occurring with other on-line service providers and believe it arises from the use of "Off-the-shelf" software which makes no provision for recording middle names in a separate data field in the customer database. I have already advised Shepherds of this issue.”

Helpful Report

“I am a mature person and new to the world of ISA. I found the process very easy to understand and navigate.”
