I went into Anstey branch as I wanted to swap my account to a fixed rate as I realised I didn't need access to my savings and wanted a better interest rate.

It took 3 months to arrange a RIO for £50k on s house that we own valued at £250k. It took 30 minutes to arrange a £40k loan to purchase a car valued at £60k with a £20k deposit. It would have been quicker and as it turns out, cheaper, to arrange a £50k personal loan from my bank. Read more Read less
