Darlington: a good all-rounder!

4
First of all, I'm a big fan of the mutual ownership model of building societies. Within the building society sector, Darlington often provides attractive savings rates & account t+c's. In the past, I've had an ISA, and currently I have a regular saver with them. Their online portal has good safety features. Reviewed on: 1st March 2026

Brilliant DBS support throughout stages of life

I have had a few different accounts over the years, from accounts entrusted to my parents that I have then had DBS’ support to access, to savings accounts and ISAs of my own once I was earning and saving. Every time, with every request I had for DBS, the staff were able to help me choose what product was best for me and always made time to personalise the service. Reviewed on: 1st March 2026
