Ann was an absolute pleasure to work with, she has gone above and beyond sorting out our mortgage products for us. She has always kept us in the loop and has listened attentively every step of the way. I would 100% recommend Darlington to anyone, and I hope they have the pleasure of working with someone like Ann!

Everyone I’ve spoken to has been really helpful and when you call you actually get through to someone straight away! Very unlike other banks but as a customer I really appreciate it. Really impressed with their rates too. Reviewed on: 3rd March 2026
