Britannia Has Treated Children Very Poorly For Som
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 A
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
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.
Q&A
Changing family circumstances mean that my granddaughter is no longer to be the recipient of the First Saver account.
How can I change it?
Have tried to call in accordance with the singularly unhelpful message: "this number is not in use; please use an alternative..."
I have been trying 'alternatives' for three hours - is it a secret? I hope that the rest of the organisation is a little more efficient
My ex-husband opened a first savers account for my son when he was born but put his name on it as well. I was told by Britannia that when my son reached 19 he could gain access to his account as his fathers name would automatically be removed. Now I am being told that the account needs to be signed over. As my son has had no contact with his father for quite a few years this is not possible. How do I get what he is entitled to?
My grandson aged eighteen has an account in his name which was opened by his father, as gaurdian, but Britannia refuse to let him withdraw from this account.why is this? Being eighteen and regarded as an adult I would have thought the guardian bit would have been null and void.
My son has a Britannia First Saver account. I live in Australia and he in the UK. I am trying to do an online transfer but am unable to find a sort code anywhere! Any ideas?
