Extremely helpful and pleasant staff

5
Easy to book a face to face appointment to open a new account. Extremely helpful and pleasant staff, talked me through the process and answered my questions. I love that I have a hard copy savings book and I can go in branch to carry out transactions and talk face to face to people. This is refreshing for me as I am fed up of doing everything online. Although online banking has it's uses there is nothing quite like the human touch and being able to talk and interact in branch - long may this continue. Reviewed on: 11th March 2022
