Darlington building society offers competitive rates

Darlington building society offer competitive savings rates, it is great that withdrawn accounts can still be used and the rates they offer stay inline with accounts that can still be opened. The staff are friendly, helpful, knowledgable and remember me when I go in. Having a passbook is also an added bonus as I can see my investments growing without having to log on Reviewed on: 16th April 2025
