It's great that you contacted me early to get a better rate for my expiring fixed rate bond. It's a shame you close at lunchtimes. I would like to make bank transfers into a cash ISA. Reviewed on: 21st September 2023

If only Harpenden did standing orders I'd transfer my current account! The staff know me and my wife so dealing with them is easy. Reviewed on: 8th September 2023
