Chetwood Bank bereavement contacts

Customer service line

01978 803976

Chetwood Bank does not list a separate bereavement line, so this is their main number. Tell them someone has passed away and they will pass you to the right team.

General email

Not a bereavement inbox, so the letter asks them to pass it on.

Write the letter for me

Fill in what you know. We use it to write one letter, and every Email button on these pages opens it ready to send from your own email. Leave anything blank and the letter keeps a gap for you to fill in.

What you type stays on this device. It is not sent to us, and it is cleared when you close this tab.

The letter

Before you get in touch

Chetwood Bank (formerly SmartSave) offers personal savings accounts. If someone with an account passes away, call or email their team and they'll tell you what to do next. It's worth having the account details ready. They'll likely ask for a copy of the death certificate before they can act on the account.

Checked on 29 September 2026 against Chetwood Bank's own page. Numbers do change now and then, so if one doesn't work, their page is the best place to look.

Other banks

Most of the time this takes goes on working out what the person had and who to call. When you are ready, Inherit Vault is where you can write that down for your own family, kept private until it is needed.
