Here are some of the most common queries about our savings accounts.

You can open an account on our website

All our applications are subject to eligibility and verification of your identity. If we need more information from you to complete our checks and set up your account, a member of our team will be in touch within five working days from the submission of application.

 

You can make a payment to us by electronic payments only. This includes Faster Payments, BACS and CHAPs.

As we don't take payment from you automatically, you'll need to make any payments from your nominated, or linked, account, using the following details:

Payee Name: Shawbrook Bank
Sort Code: 16-58-73
Account number: Your Shawbrook Savings Account number
Reference: Your name as the payment reference

If you're not sure what account number to use, you can get help on how to find your account number.

We're not part of the confirmation of payee scheme, so your bank may tell you this when you try and make a payment. It's nothing to worry about. For peace of mind, you may wish to make a small 'test' payment of £1. Once the payment has processed, you'll see it in your account.

If you already have an ISA and want to transfer your previous allowances to us, you can find out more on how to transfer an ISA.

Funds are credited to your account the same working day, if you send them before 3.30pm. If you send the funds after this time or not on a working day (Saturday and Sunday or English bank holiday), the funds will credit your account the following working day.

For example, if you send funds from your bank account on Friday after 3.30pm, your account will show that the money has left, but it won’t show that we’ve received it in your Shawbrook account until the Monday, when we’ve applied it to your account.

If the Monday is an English public holiday, it won’t show until Tuesday.

You will begin to earn interest once the credit has been applied to your account.

If you've registered a mobile number with us, we'll send you a text to let you know the funds have been credited.
