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

I spoke to Simon today and he was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. He quickly resolved my initial query and then was able to help with another two questions I had. Simon went above and beyond explaining every thing he was doing. He is a credit to DBS. Thank you Reviewed on: 17th August 2024
