Not great- lacks basic features

2
The mobile app is lacking basic features down to removing payees - this is not possible and requires online banking. Some great staff in the branches though ( or at least the ones to at are still open ). Reviewed on: 26th March 2022

Easy to use and friendly

Staff are always friendly on the phone, easy to use online interface. No problems or delays with accounts or information requests. Reviewed on: 25th March 2022

Meh, good but not the best

App is fine, customer service are trying to help but not too informative like other banks Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

High Street Bank not keeping up with the times

2
Such a big bank, with such poor offering and cumbersome app, and their sustainability values and general ethics are far from good. I'm choosing to move my money away from them to challenger banks and building societies that do it much much better. Reviewed on: 20th March 2022
