Excellent Customer Service

Excellent Customer Service, both in branch and by phone to head office. A good selection of accounts but the interest rates are not especially competitive. Reviewed on: 28th August 2025

Fed up with online attemp.

Tried to register fo an online account as an existing customer , was asked to provide ID certification , and account was set up , but now I cannot get into system as something has been deactivated. No answer to telephone call , no waiting time given. This has been one obstacle and frustration after another . Will probably just let attempted account lapse as am fed up trying.

I like the fact there is still a branch in Leighton Buzzard which I find very handy and able to speak to someone face-to-face is a big plus for me. They are a really helpful team. Thanks for staying open. Reviewed on: 31st July 2025
