Review of the Darlington Building Society, Savings:

Stockton - Lauren

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

Well impressed, very straightforward. Pleased you are still a traditional branch based building society - the funds we transferred to you today are from a branch that has unilaterally decided it will only take business online - something we cannot do. Reviewed on: 18th September 2024

It is important for me to be able to visit an office, also to speak to a human (on the phone) as I do not use online or mobile facilities. Keep the branches open please!. Reviewed on: 18th September 2024

You answer the phone quickly; you have branches open and don't force internet banking. The staff are pleasant, especially Emily in the Northallerton branch. Reviewed on: 18th September 2024
