Angela Jones was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and kind throughout the whole process. Our situation was complex from the beginning (PhD stipend) and there were also a few hurdles along the way but Angela was really helpful and patient throughout the whole process. She was always contactable and had time to answer questions. We always felt she was pushing our application forward and saved us a lot of time and stress and gave us access to offers we wouldn’t have been able to get on our own. We would recommend anyone to work with Angela who is looking for a mortgage. Read more Read less

I'm a first time buyer so I needed some hand holding, Angela was absolutely fantastic. We had issues with our solicitors and estate agent but Angela was our knight in shining armour. She couldn't have done any more for us, would recommend Angela and I'd definitely use her expertise again! Read more Read less

Opening a new savings account as a new customer felt like a return to the 1980s. Application was via post including a cheque. I received account details via post, but had to phone to request an online sign-in password. Line was busy, so they called me back several hours later. Customer support staff member was nice and helpful, but the whole process was dated and inconvenient in a modern digital world. Read more Read less

I wanted to visit the branch but when I got there it was closed for staff training. It is a 20 mile round trip to the nearest and there is no help to get on line. Not good enough!
