Very thorough. Good levels of security used. A little daunting at first but if time is taken to read through all information, it's quite straightforward. Reviewed on: 11th August 2024

I'm not great with online account opening so phoned 3 times to get advice, each time speaking to someone different. All extremely helpful to me. Lovely to actually speak to a human being who was happy to help! 10 out of 10, give those ladies a pay rise! Reviewed on: 7th August 2024
