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

Excellent help regarding account but would prefer a passbook rather than a certificate for the FRISA. A tick box sheet to indicate preference for new account arrangements would be much simpler than multiple forms to complete. Reviewed on: 6th March 2025
