More than 10 years a customer, still happy

5
We have been a customer of the Darlington Building Society for 10 years, in which time we have always been treated with respect, with understanding and with a clear desire to achieve the best outcome for us, the customer. Through a myriad of life events and situations, including more complex working arrangements, salary and currency differences, we have always been able to find a solution, together. Our experiences have ensured we never looked for another provider, which would usually be the wrong thing to do, but our faith in the Darlington means we see this as a partnership as much as a business deal.
