Poor customer service commonplace

Service is often poor to the extent that I avoid phoning the call centre if I can help it. Reviewed on: 11th November 2018

Not helpful

Having had an overdraft for 15 years, they removed facility without notice and it caused stress and hardship. Poor customer service Reviewed on: 9th November 2018

GREAT OVERALL PRODUCT

4
I love this account as it is easy to use and operate and the overdraft facility has been fine tuned now so it advises you how much you can borrow and you can do this easily and simply in just a few clicks. The down side, and the only reason I do not give it FULL MARKS is that it is easier to borrow than to pay back and if I choose to pay back some of my overdraft this is shown as me being inconsistent instead of diligently managing my money! Otherwise, love this account. Reviewed on: 7th November 2018

Happy customer
