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 had a very positive and very satisfactory experience with the advisor today. I achieved everything I had intended complete from this meeting. Kathleen, as always, was very thorough, polite, professional and helpful. We had a very enjoyable and useful time together in one of your lovely new offices. Thanks for the service you provide.

Visited branch to make appointment to open savings account for non-existing customer via PoA. Told to bring photo ID, PoA documentation but not told of need for ID for account holder. Caused some inconvenience and an additional visit to branch. Reviewed on: 22nd May 2024
