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

New DBS accounts opened 53 years after my first one

I opened my first recent account with DBS in September 25 and everything went very smoothly. Actually, my very first DBS savings account was opened in 1972 but, having permanently moved to London for work in 1981, you closed it in the mid 80's as I wasn't local enough and not sufficiently using the account ! I'm so happy to be back with you again ! Reviewed on: 29th January 2026
