Opening New Account

We called into our local branch to open 2 new accounts and were given a comprehensive document folder containing all the information needed as well as application forms. We returned the completed application forms the next day and our passbooks were received in the post 2 working days later. Reviewed on: 28th January 2021

Real people

The advisers are friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. You’re always dealing with real people, both in person and over the phone, and that makes a huge difference, especially when so many customer service roles are being replaced by bots. They’re always happy to guide you and recommend the most suitable products so you can get the best possible value and make the most of your interest. Reviewed on: 17th January 2026
