Please be careful with Equity Release
This experience stems back to 2004/5 and our interactions with Hodge Bank during 2024/25.
In 2004, my parents were mis-sold financial services that they, in hindsight, never actually needed, by a third party company. Mum was unwell at the time, and soon after buying these services was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. One of the services provided was an equity release through Hodge Bank of around £90,000. At the time the property was valued at around £250,000. In return, Hodge Bank would be entitled to 90% of the equity raised when the property was sold in the future. Let's just run that again, 90% of the equity in the house! Even at the time, the bank's immediate gross profit would have been £135,000 if the property had been sold straight after the ink had dried on the contract! My parents explained to me at the time that I didn't need to worry when they die because the bank will buy the property.
Fast forward 20 years. Mum had passed away in 2021, and Dad passed away in 2023.
It was only during the process of Probate for Dad's estate that we found out that Hodge Bank had this claim against my parents' house. The property by this time was valued at £450,000 so Hodge Bank's share was now around £405,000, from an outlay of around £90k.
Now it's important to say here that Hodge Bank had done nothing illegal, and the services that were sold through the broker weren't subjected to regulation until 2007, but can anybody reading this honestly say that the contract wasn't at the very least immoral? I guess that's the banking business for you.
Our interactions with Hodge Bank during the Probate phase and the sale of the property lacked any empathy or sympathy for my shock and distress over losing what my parents had thought they were passing on to me after their lifetimes of hard work and dilligence.
Even at the end, now owning 90% of the property, the bank penny-pinched and only contributed towards insurance costs and utility bills for around the last three months before the property was sold as opposed to when they took over the property on Dad's death, forcing me to pay all bills for at least 18 months.
I recognise that other financial institutions have also gained financial benefits in a similar way but my experience is wholly with Hodge Bank and the way they do (or did) business, particularly where older and more vulnerable people are concerned.
Please be very careful when using equity release schemes. Banks are after profit, nothing more, and really don't seem to care about the moral implications of how they make their money.

Hi Steve Houltby, thank you for your comments above and we are sorry to hear of your continuing concerns. We appreciate your perspective and understand that this has been a challenging issue, which we believe has been carefully investigated.

Hi Consumer, thank you for your feedback!
I’m glad to hear the website was easy to navigate and that providing instructions on the account’s maturity was straightforward. We appreciate you taking the time to share this—it helps us ensure the process remains simple and user-friendly.
What would I say about Hodge Bank
What would I say about Hodge Bank? It gives me the feeling of olden times, back to the Victorian era, which isn't a bad thing. But the process of getting an account, easy to understand. They help you a lot and I really like that. And they're always on hand if you need help. What they're lacking in my view for a bank that's been around a long time, they are lacking a mobile app. They really need to move with the times and launch a mobile app for us customers and then we will be content. So if you're looking for a bank with savings accounts, then you need Hodge Bank.

Easy access account that is easy to open
I wanted an easy access account with a good interest rate to hold my excess cash instead of it sitting in my current account paying peanuts but easy to move back when I needed the money. It was recommended by the Daily Mail Money Mail page and the Moneysaving expert so I was reassured even though I had not heard of Hodge bank before. It was easy and quick to apply, no hassles with smartphones and selfies. Very happy with the process.

Opened a Hodge Bank Easy Access Issue 1 Savings Account with an Intrest rate of 4.14% on 8th November 2025.
Received an e-mail on 11th November 2025 to advise Intrest rate was dropping to 3.97%.
the Bank of England made no changes to Intrest rate so I cant understand why Hodge Bank changed the rate.
Is the higher rate offered to get customers then dropped was they open an account.
Last they have heard of me.

This is the second time I have used Hodge Bank for a fixed rate bond. I found the process so quick and easy. As soon as I had I filled the application I received an email. Account up and running and funded within 5 minutes. Last week I applied with a different bank with a slightly higher rate that was supposed to have a quick and easy process, after sending all my personal details I am still waiting! So, thanks Hodge Bank for a quick and stress free process.

Hi Gill, thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad to hear that our team was able to reassure you and provide the support you needed. We believe in real, human conversations, so it’s great to know that speaking with a person made a difference for you.
Good rates of interest for savers.
Good rate of interest for anytime access deposits and covered up to £85K under the compensation scheme. Slightly enhanced rate if monthly interest paid to Hodge account rather than (in my case) high street bank’s current account from which the deposit came. Easy online application process. An app would be welcome but they don’t have one so monitoring and transacting is via the website. Since opening the account (yesterday) and writing this review (less than 1hr ago) Hodge have emailed me to notify me of a 0.17% rate reduction! That changes my opinion somewhat seeing as the base rate hasn’t changed.
