Nice and quick. Polite and helpful staff. Answered all of the questions I needed to know. The BS could do with updating so they don’t need a savings book which other banks have out one with now. Reviewed on: 31st October 2019

I was disappointed that Darlington Building Society have closed the regular savings accounts and offered an inferior savings account. This would make me inclined to move my savings to another provider. Reviewed on: 11th July 2025

I'm disappointed that you are discontinuing all passbooks and now issuing more bits of paper that can be very confusing. Reviewed on: 11th July 2025
