Good knowledgeable staff.

Good knowledgeable staff especially considering was under training. Competitive rate of interest. Reviewed on: 21st October 2024

Staff response / call handling is A1

5
Staff response and call handling is the best I've seen - you empower your staff and they are confident, helpful and staightforward. Your hepline works well, with no appreciable delay in reaching a human. The only reason you are not 10/10 is that your system is ultra-secure to the point that it is very easy for infrequent users (like me) to get locked out. It's happened two or three times in the past 5 or 6 years, but I only check your account about twice a year - because you are useful for cash I won't need for a while. As I deliberately spread this kind of cash out between a parcel of providers you might even get more in future as my parcel is shrinking with the Tesco & Virgin amalgamations & i'll need to balance it out again once the dust settles.

Many thanks to the excellent Chi Cameron who made a difficult phonecall easier. She dealt with my enquiry sensitively and professionally and followed it with an email summarising information and with useful links. This enabled my visit to the Saffron Walden branch today straightforward as I could ensure I had all required documentation to hand. Freddie at SW branch also gave exceptional Customer Service Reviewed on: 15th October 2024
