Very easy to contact, no long waiting on the phone to speak to an agent after several machine transfers to different departments, i get direct help from the agent who answers the call- also competitive rates .

I opened an account 10 days ago to invest £50.000 in a fixed rate bond for 36 months, since then I have tried to contact the bank countless times, spending 40,50 minutes on the phone each time, listening to the same piece of music over and over before giving up.
In the meantime, I installed the app and tried to get access to my new account this way, I persevered dozens of times, it would either freeze in the middle of the process or crash !
I thanked god that I hadn’t transferred the funds yet, I would have been frantic at this stage.
Yesterday I managed to get through! Spoke to a member of staff named Shaheen, she was very friendly and sympathetic, unfortunately unable to help with the APP. She suggested managing my account by post or through a branch !!
Faced with these facts, that even if I manage to fund my account at their bank, I will be forever hanging on the phone, or dealing with the most frustrating and temperamental App, I decided to avoid such a precarious situation and invest elsewhere.
