Vicky is a superstar. She explains everything in a very clear way and goes the extra mile. She is proactive and you come away feeling cared for an valued. Would highly recommend the building society. She needs to be cloned! Reviewed on: 17th April 2026

Excellent staff in the branches.

Excellent staff in the branches. Continuing availability of good quality branch-based products as opposed to focusing on online products, unlike certain other Societies. Locally owned, but national availability. Reviewed on: 16th April 2026
