Great bank

5
Brilliant bank to be with. On a couple of occasions direct debits have been declined due to insufficient funds but they haven't charged me. In bank itself, the staff are always helpful and pleasant. Only downside is the fact they won't give overdrafts to those with bad credit history even though they get all my pay paid into them. Reviewed on: 27th June 2017
