used to be good since they withdrew bank accounts and closed most of the branches they have changed as a company. Service is definitely poor now . Reviewed on: 13th March 2018

Review of the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society, Current Account:

Poor IT Systems and Customer Service

1
After a month since opening an account, when I was trying to logon online, I seem to have mis typed my password. Without any warning my account got locked after 3 attempts. When I called the customer service they asked me for a telephone password to unlock my online account. I didn't know what it was and the customer service person didn't give any other alternate option to unlock it through the phone. She advised that I need to set a password for telephone banking through post first and then call them back to reset the online account. This seem to be lengthy and frustrating and something unheard of. Reviewed on: 26th May 2016

Shocking

1
From refusing to provide telephone advice about a suitable account I could transfer a large sum of into; it was impossible to visit a branch as I had moved to London, and have poor computer/internet skills so couldn't open an internet account, this mattered not a jot. Either visit a branch or open an internet account. Very limiting. And now they have accused me of providing a fraudulent document - it certainly isn't, and they are ignoring the assurance of a solicitor on the matter. Essentially, they are accusing me of being a criminal. Because of this they have prevented me from taking up a work offer in Spain. And last but not least, most of the branch staff are helpful and polite but I had the misfortune of dealing with one very rude member of staff a couple of years ago. My advice is to take your money elsewhere Reviewed on: 5th November 2016

ATMs abroad

Great for getting commission-free money out of ATMs abroad Reviewed on: 28th June 2016

Excellent customer service and polite staff

5
My experience of norwhich and peterborough has been delightful one. Opening account was easy and straightforward. The staff are helpful and waiting times are reasonable. I was diagnosed with a mental illness. Due to my illness I had occurred overdraft charges, with the bank. I informed of this with supporting evidence. The bank was very sympathetic and refunded the charges. I delighted to say I am still a loyal customer of theirs. Reviewed on: 21st January 2016

Easy to access and great service

I have had only positive experiences with N&P and their current accounts. Their online banking is fantastic as well as the staff being incredibly polite via phone and inside the bank. Brilliant service Reviewed on: 27th November 2015
