Open longer on one day at least

While I was satisfied with the service I received I feel that you should at least open longer on 1 day a week as I found that it took me a little while to get down town in time for reduced open times in Middlesbrough. Reviewed on: 3rd June 2026

Woeful communication

We had a face to face to alert DBS to our new current account bank as recipient of interest plus full amount of a 1 yr bond. We have been DBS members for over 30 years but as pensioners we needed to optimise interest on bonds hence are reinvesting elsewhere. We were told that we could process a CHAPS payment at the counter once the bond matured. When we arrived a) there was confusion about this b) our interest had been transferred to our old current account. Staff unravelled it but it was a very upsetting lengthy avoidable experience.
