I take the time to write so as to warn others. I have already made the mistake of switching to the Alliance & Leicester Premier Direct Current Account because the advert stated they would switch everything effortlessly. They failed to set up the direct debits despite writing to tell me they had. My ...

Timing are particularly bad. We have 2 current accounts and one savings (all joint accounts) but money transfered in between can take anything upto 4 days - with money 'floating' around the banking system no where to be seen. When we use swich in shops it can also take several days for it to show on ...

One advantage of internet banking is supposed to be being able to track your account quickly whereever you are in the world. Alliance & Leicester's over-elaborate security arrangements completely defeat the point: 1) You need to remember an 8 digit ID number (different from your account or card numb ...

Appalling Account - don't be tempted by the interest rate as not every one will never get it....Also the online system is confusing with three balances telling different stories, customer service is non-existent - they prefer to wait 56 days (8 weeks) then recommend you contact the ombudsman, they a ...

Because of the poor interest rate I was getting with Alliance & Leicester (though I've been with them more than 18 months), I transferred my Current Account to another Bank using the other bank's automated transfer service (where all one's Direct Debits and Standing Orders) are automatically taken o ...

Been with Alliance & Leicester building society for almost a year, no problems. The online bank account is easy to follow and track your in's and out's. The only thing i would say I dont like is that it doesnt update your balance in real time.
