Review of the Darlington Building Society, Savings:

Poor customer service

1
Account opened for years, only when requesting to close are asked for id. Should this not have been done at the start when the account was opened? Why do you need a copy of the statement where the money is going to???? If I make a bank transfer the details are automatically checked. Really poor service over all. One person tells you to do one thing, then another tells you something else. Not happy. Reviewed on: 4th May 2025

Telephone enquiry regarding online banking resulted in Simon ringing me back with an excellent explanation on how to register my account. He explained with courtesy and consideration of how to activate my account, and access it in the future. He was extremely courteous and throughout the call. Thank you.
