Had not considered Shepherds Friendly before. Opened a stocks and shares ISA which was a very easy process. Website is easy to navigate, clear and concise. Just need to ISA to perform well!

Creating the account was easyaccount easy to set up
Creating the account was easy, i spoke to 2 different staff members as I went through a cashback site and your actual website was misleading. Once id opened the account i got an email to say the welcome pack was ther but it wasn’t. Long story short the person i spoke to put the pack in the post which i have received

Great experience all round!
Best ISA bonus I’ve seen for a long time and it was applied straight after I opened my account. The document that were sent were so easy to read and understand so I know I was making the right decision for me with opening the Investment ISA. Friendly team emailed me back with a quick response when I had a small query. Would recommend Shepards Friendly to friends and family!!

Did not pay Topcashback payment after…
Did not pay Topcashback payment after taking out a £20k stocks and shares ISA. Although I went through the process to find out why Shepherds Friendly did not pay the Topcashbback payment, after 6 months of waiting for an answer their reply was "no commission was due on this order" Yet the reason why I invested in Shepherd Friendly was for the Topcashback payment. Be aware if this is why you are investing in the company!

Very poor junior ISA rates
Very poor junior ISA rates, 3.75% for the year. Wish I’d known this before setting them up. They made the quarterly bonus sound attractive, but in reality, just not worth it.
********
In response to your reply:
To be honest, I'm not happy with the 3.75% rate, but the past 2 quarters only hit 0.5%, which as a whole means your investment managers are doing an awful job. My personal ISA has already hit a 24% return (with a different company) over a 6 month period. I realise this is an exceptional return, but if they can hit this, and your guys cant get a decent fraction of this, then there is something clearly wrong. Kids should not be penalised simply for being kids. I will be moving these ISAs away from you in the near future.

Hello Tony,
Thank you for your review. We always value feedback from our members, and I'm sorry to hear your experience wasn't as you'd expected. We take decisions about bonus rates very seriously, and the recent reduction reflects a number of market and economic factors.
The bonus rate of an Annual Equivalent Rate (AER) of 3.75% is for the period from 1st July to 30th September 2025. Like, with any investment, returns can fluctuate, so AER shows you how much the investment could grow in one year if investment returns were to remain at the same level all year. We pay bonuses quarterly, so your next bonus rate may be different from this one.
Unlike with an index-linked fund, a with-profits fund offers a more predictable investment performance by actively ‘smoothing out’ the daily ups and downs of the market. Our fund managers use a careful and proactive investment strategy to smooth out the impact of this year's volatility on your investment. While market ups and downs have eased compared to earlier in the year, ongoing inflation, slower economic growth, and higher interest rates mean there’s still some uncertainty.
With our Junior ISA, we aim to provide your child with higher returns in the medium- to long-term, compared with what you’d get from a bank or building society account. So you should aim to invest for no fewer than five years.
In your bonus rate email, you can read our latest investment update for more information.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with our Member Services team here: https://www.shepherdsfriendly.co.uk/help-and-support/.
Kind regards,
Elena
Avoid Shepherds Friendly Sick Pay…
Avoid Shepherds Friendly Sick Pay Policy
Do not take out this policy. It does not pay out if you’re off work due to mental health reasons unless you’ve been formally sectioned. I wasn’t informed until three months later, by letter, that my claim had been deemed null and void because they decided my mental health wasn’t “severe enough” to qualify.
Throughout the process, I received no replies to any of my emails, and although I was repeatedly promised call-backs, not a single one ever happened.

Hello Kelly,
Thank you for your review. I’m sorry to hear that your experience wasn’t as you’d hoped.
We always aim to make fair decisions for our members when it comes to Income Protection claims.
Mental health conditions are one of the most common reasons our members claim, and we’ve supported many members through this when they meet our Terms and Conditions.
We’ve been in touch to explain why we weren’t able to pay you this time.
If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Claims team.
Kind regards,
Elena
