Good customer service in Andover

I had to open a new account in branch and although it was quite a long process, Emma took it on as no one else was waiting. I was impressed by her patience and courtesy towards me. In fact, the completed passbook came to my home address by 1st class post the following day. What good service is that? Reviewed on: 3rd February 2023
