I like that there is a branch in my town (Tring), and that I get excellent service whenever I visit. The savings rates are good. The only improvement might be slightly more online functionality. Reviewed on: 28th September 2023

We are working hard to improve our online functionality and we are confident that this will improve. I'm very keen to explore what additional features our customers would like added to this platform, so if you have any ideas or something you feel we should be considering then please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected] Jon Sweeting Commercial Manager Response date: 9th October 2023
