Fraud warning notice

Unfortunately, from time to time someone may try to pass themselves off fraudulently as representing a company within the Close Brothers Group. Such frauds may involve email or telephone communications purporting to come from Close Brothers Limited, Close Brothers Savings or another part of the Group, or referring potential victims to a website purporting to belong to the Group. These are known as "phishing emails".

 

We do not normally send unsolicited emails to our customers so if you receive something that appears to be from Close Brothers Savings or if you have any doubts at all about the authenticity of any persons purporting to represent Close Brothers Group in any way, we recommend that you call us directly on 020 3857 3050 and we would be happy to check out the details. A full list of the operating subsidiaries of Close Brothers Group and their contact details is available on the Close Brothers Group website.
