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

Local, mutual, community support. Being able to open accounts at head office is a huge bonus. Reviewed on: 28th March 2025

My account was due to mature on 28/02. The letter from the Society was dated 24/02, even if my response was immediate there waas no way that the response of reinvestment paperwork would be implemented by 01/03. Reviewed on: 28th March 2025
