Excellent Customer Service

5
I contacted customer service so that my account could be unlocked - I'd made an error logging in and the account was locked. The phone was anwered promptly and the situation was sorted out very efficiently. The customer service advisor was friendly and helpful. This makes such a change to my old savings bank where it takes an hour on hold to get through to someone. Reviewed on: 30th May 2022

What's not to like

5
Opened a new account with relative ease online as like the branch based account it gave a very competitive interest rate. Also have a branch based account which was equally easy to open by post and/or a nice trip out to the local branch. The staff on the telephone and in branch are very friendly and helpful. The only downside is the limit is the maximum deposit level of their high interest rate accounts. Reviewed on: 20th May 2022

Great interest!

The member of staff who opened my new account was so personable. Everything was clearly explained regarding this product, alongside the opportunity to have a relaxed conversation with her. I will quite happily recommend Basingstoke branch to others as a result of my experiences. Reviewed on: 17th May 2022
