helpful and reasonable

5
Very reasonable bank. Very rarely have any issues, The fees are super low and the staff friendly Reviewed on: 10th February 2018

Waste of time

3
I signed up to the text alert service and asked to be notified when my account fell to £15 or less as I did not want to use my overdraft. The text notifications suddenly stopped and I received charges for going overdrawn on numerous occasions. I later found out from different internet forums that this had happened to many people. I was never notified that this service was being stopped. It cost me on several occasions and I am not happy about it Reviewed on: 10th February 2018

Poor service in branches

4
My local branch isn't bad, and the staff are efficient but poorly staffed so you have to book an appointment to see someone, usually about 2-3 weeks away. Whenever I go into the branch in my nearest city, the service is terrible and the staff clueless. I don't want to transact all my banking online but that's what we're being pushed to do. Reviewed on: 10th February 2018

Excellent benefits

5
I love the fact that you can get cash back using your debit card. I have also been the beneficiary of a 'have one on us 'payment which was a wonderful surprise. Reviewed on: 10th February 2018

Always greeted with a smile on there face as you walk in the door, always there to help you with anything Reviewed on: 9th February 2018

Simple and Easy

4
No trouble with charges, no difficulties, just a simple easy to manage account without the bells and whistles that can be so unnecessary Reviewed on: 9th February 2018

Hassle free

3
Been with them for years, and overall it's a hassle free service. Reviewed on: 8th February 2018

Reliable and meets my needs

5
Been a customer and had my current account for over 20yrs. They've met all my needs, got me through my uni days with a overdraft then helped me take out a loan to pay off my overdraft over 5yrs. Never had any problems. Reviewed on: 8th February 2018
