Was tempted here by hi rates of advertised interest on HiSAVE accounts from this Indian bank with full UK protection. Everything about the process was complicated including the fact that you are only able to open the account with a cheque from a pre linked account. Unfortunately I didn't help myself by writing the cheque out from another non linked account, so my cheque was returned to me. I spoke to their customer services that I had made a genuine mistake and was advised to send a second cheque as deposit from the correctly liinked account which I was advised would suffice to open the account. So I sent cheque which again was returned with a letter stating my account had been closed! I again called to discuss this but no reasons were given as to this, just that it was closed. I now realise why they are not very well known and why people are giving negative reviews. It is far easier and less complicated to keep my savings under the mattress.
