Couldn't have been more helpful

We were helped by Helen King to set up various new accounts. Helen talked me through the many ISA and account options which made the decision of which to choose easier for me. She explained things simply and didn't mind going over things more than once. Excellent customer service. Reviewed on: 6th November 2023
