I has recently to misplace or lose my main credit card. Immediately went to my local branch - asked to speak to an advisor regarding the problem. Waited approximately 2 minutes - explained loss. Immediate hold on the card, a check of my account for any recent withdrawls (checking validity). And issue of a new card which arrived within 3 days. I call that good, efficient service with a human responsxe to my problem. Reviewed on: 22nd November 2019
