A real Building Society experience.

A real Building Society experience. We were able to phone the actual branch and not a call centre and then we were able to book a face to face appointment in branch and not asked to “do it online”. The assistant was knowledgeable about the products and very courteous and helpful. It was the friendly helpful approach that made the experience pleasant and useful. Reviewed on: 30th June 2025
