Always helpful

5
I have found this bank to always be helpful and understanding with regards to everyday living for people like myself, who hasn't thousands of pounds in savings put away. On the odd occasion in the past when I've needed an everyday loan of £300 or, a loan so I can pay a month's rent & deposit upfront, they have always come to my rescue. The staff are always polite and helpful aswell, so yes!!...they get my vote. Reviewed on: 24th June 2022
