Review of the Darlington Building Society, Savings:

I had several regular saver accounts in the past.

I had several regular saver accounts in the past. The interst rates were good. However they continued to reduce them far faster than the base rate was going down. This in my view was unfair and made them uncompetitive compared with many bank and building society accounts. I have closed most of them down and only have one left with a token deposit in it. Very disappointing. Reviewed on: 16th April 2025
