    Good Points: Staff are generally nice and approachable.


    Bad Points: Terrible rates of interest.


    General comments: Britannia has treated children very poorly for some time, if they are too old to qualify for the trust funds. Some years ago they decided to disqualify children from getting the Loyalty Bonus; but after much protest they gave out low-value gift tokens as compensation before reinstating the Bonus at very paltry levels. For savings of c £3,000 my child this year qualified for just £4 Bonus. Plus the savings rates have been consistently below the Bank of England rate for some years.

    Beware, Britannia First Saver Children's savings account reduced interest rates for our grandchildren from 4.25 to now 0.25 not by a letter but by a chart of all interest rates.

    We have had very good customer service. We went to a local Britannia branch to open an account. We could open an account in 10 minutes with just £10, and we were offered a nice "paint your own piggy bank", with the passbook updated instantly. Interest rates on the First Saver Children's Saving Account were also good.
