first direct praise !

switched over ten years ago and will not change again - so YES I would and have - recommend to friends/family . I do mainly bank online , but sometimes call to clarify something or set up a savings account . They are always polite , professional , and friendly ! Cannot fault them . Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

Market Leading interest rate

5% interest on £300 a month. Easy to set up and you can start a new monthly saver as soon as the old one matures Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

Savings account

I have just opened a regular saver account and it was very easy to open. Reviewed on: 3rd November 2017

The best regular saver product out there

Used to be 6%, now 5%, but I cannot find anything to beat it. Also the £300 a month limit is higher than anyone else. Not good for stashing great wodges of money, but definitely good for saving up lumps of money for holidays, buy a car and other big things like that. Best of all, their customer service is the best I have seen from anyone, I actually like talking to them! Reviewed on: 6th September 2017

Very interesting

Good rate of interest and easy to set up without any hassle from overzealous sales pitch. Reviewed on: 19th June 2017

Fabulous customer service

They really go the extra mile and make you feel a valued customer Reviewed on: 9th June 2017
