The account opening is easy and smooth.

The account opening is easy and smooth. I finished everything online with no problems. The savings may not provide the best of the best interest but is very decent.

    Easy process to switch deals.

    Easy process to switch deals when my previous one ended. Impressed that NBS initiated the contact. Competitive rate for an interest only mortgage.
