I have been a regular customer of the building society for the last 3 years benefiting from best Savings rates. I have sometimes used customer services with good outcomes . The app service introduced is useful. It would have been convenient to access closed accounts for interest for self assessment. HOPE MY REQUEST FOR THE PAPER COPY FOR YEAR 2024-25 would be complied with Thanks Read more Read less

App would not take the information given to start the account and kept getting messages to call the BS. Cust service told me to delete app and reload but same problems. Cust service tried to sort out but couldn’t. 4th attempt and a few days later, finally got it sorted. Also app tells you to call the BS between 9and 5 but seems to forget they don’t open until 10 on Wednesdays for their sleep in. Read more Read less
