Pros and cons of banking with Aldermore
Pros
- Online Banking. Your Aldermore savings account can be accessed online through the website. Even though it doesn’t currently have a dedicated mobile app, it’s website is optimised to perform on any device type.
- Flexibility. Aldermore’s variety of accounts offers flexible options no matter what kind of savings you’re seeking.
- Effortless and accessible. You can open an Aldermore savings account in just a few minutes.
- FSCS protection. With Aldermore you have the peace of mind that comes from knowing your money is protected up to a total of £85,000 by the UK’s deposit guarantee scheme.
Cons
- Better rates elsewhere? Interest rates have risen slightly in recent months, but banks are typically slow to pass on the rise to savers. It helps to shop around to find out where you can get the best deal.
- No high street presence. The era of high street banking is seemingly being replaced by online banking even for traditional banks. But if a high street presence is important to you perhaps Aldermore isn’t the way to go.
- No dedicated smartphone app. While it’s possible to access your online banking service on the go using your device’s web browser, savers increasingly expect to be able to keep tabs on their money quickly via their provider’s phone app.
