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

It was so refreshing to phone an organisation and immediately be able to talk to someone trained to help. No long queues. No webchat bots. A real person who was friendly and professional. I feel that Victoria exceeded my expectations and provided great service. Reviewed on: 25th February 2025

Branch closing on a Wednesday and Saturday is inconvenient as I work Mon-Fri, so Saturday is useful to us. Experience is good in branch though. Reviewed on: 25th February 2025
