Staff very welcoming in offices and knowledgeable if anyone needs advice on savings etc. Darlington on Line needs modifying somewhat as can be quite tricky to negotiate around site especially for older members. Reviewed on: 27th February 2026

I have always had a very good experience when visiting. The staff are always friendly and chatty and talk me through any products I am interested in, but never try to sway me towards anything. They are always willing to go through again anything I don't understand. Reviewed on: 27th February 2026
