Stockton - Lauren

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

Needed to sort out a small on line issue - operator was very helpful - went the extra mile and was also very charming. Forms can be a little intimidating when dealing with large sums of money. Reviewed on: 28th April 2025

I could not have managed without assistance

Terrific lady answered the phone. Very positive in leading me through the ISA and Savings set up. Took a while to set things up, but this was down to my lack of keyboard finesse! Highly unlikely that I will remember how to fully utilise the Darl Online aspects. Reviewed on: 27th April 2025
